Lyrics

Wand’rer, come, there’s room for thee,
At the cross of Je­sus;
Come and taste sal­va­tion free
At the cross of Je­sus.

Refrain

Blessèd cross! pre­cious cross!
There my hopes are twin­ing;
There I see a Fa­ther’s love
Through a Sav­ior shin­ing.

Come and bring thy bur­den now
To the cross of Je­sus;
Lay thy burn­ing, throb­bing brow
At the cross of Je­sus.

Refrain

O what com­fort thou wilt find
At the cross of Je­sus;
Love thy brok­en heart will bind
At the cross of Je­sus.

Refrain

See the crim­son wa­ters flow
At the cross of Je­sus;
Come and tell thy ev­ery woe
At the cross of Je­sus.
