ON THIS SHEET: Beneath the cross of Jesus · I fain would take my stand, · The shadow of a mighty rock · Within a weary land; · A home within the wilderness, · A rest upon the way, · From the burning of the noontide heat, · And the burden of the day. — Upon the cross of Jesus · Mine eye at times can see · The very dying form of One · Who suffered there for me; · And from my smitten heart with tears · Two wonders I confess: · The wonders of redeeming love · And my unworthiness. — I take, O cross, thy shadow · For my abiding place; · I ask no other sunshine than · The sunshine of His face; · Content to let the world go by, · To know no gain nor loss, · My sinful self my only shame, · My glory all the cross. — Elizabeth Clephane, 1868. LETTER SIZE: 1/4-inch. HANDWRITING: joined cursive. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only.
