LEVAS2 (L028)   Down at the cross

Piano     Parts     Soprano     Alto     Tenor     Bass

1 Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried;
There to my heart was the blood applied;

Refrain:
Glory to His name. Glory to His name. Glory to His name!
There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to His name.

2 I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in; [Refrain]

3 O, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean; [Refrain]

4 Come to this fountain so rich and sweet;
Cast your poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete; [Refrain]

LEVAS2 (L035)   O how He loves you and me

Piano     PARTS     Soprano     Alto     Tenor     Bass

O how He loves you and me.
O how He loves you and me.
He gave His life, what more could He give?
O how He loves you.
O how He loves me.
O how He loves you and me.

Jesus to Calvary did go
His love for the worlds to show
What He did there brought hope from despair
O how He loves you.
O how He loves me.
O how He loves you and me.

WLP (W760)   O wheat, whose crushing was for bread

Piano    PARTS    Soprano    Alto    Tenor    Bass

O wheat, whose crushing was for bread

O bread, whose breaking is for life,
O life, your seeming end is seed,
A seed for wheat, our bread and life

O fruit, whose crushing is for wine
O wine, whose flowing is for blood
O blood, your pouring out is life
Our life in you, o fruitful vine.

O life, whose crushing was for life
O love, whose spending was to death
O death, whose mourning is our joy
Full joy and birth to lasting life.

LEVAS2 (L038)   The old rugged cross

Piano     PARTS     Soprano     Alto     Tenor     Bass

1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the cross, the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

2 Oh, that old rugged cross so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain]

3 In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]

4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share. [Refrain]
