Lift High the Cross
When Christ Was Lifted from the Earth
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: When Christ was lifted from the earth Lyrics: 1. When Christ was lifted from the earth
His arms stretched out above
Thro' ev'ry culture, ev'ry birth,
To draw an answering love.
2. Still east and west His love extends
And always, near or far,
He calls and claims us as His friends
And loves us as we are.
3. Where generation, class or race
Divides us to our shame,
He sees not labels but a face,
A person and a name.
4. Thus feely loved, tho' fully known,
May I in Christ be free
To welcome and accept His own
As Christ accepted me.

The Attraction of the Cross
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Appears in 97 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: Yonder — amazing Sight! — I see Lyrics: 1 Yonder — amazing Sight! — I see
Th' incarnate Son of GOD,
Expiring on the accursed tree,
And welt'ring in his blood.
2 Behold a purple torrent run
Down from his hands and head:
The crimson tide puts out the sun;
His groans awake the dead.
3 The trembling earth, the darken'd sky,
Proclaim the truth aloud!
And with th' amaz'd centurion cry,
"This is the son of God."
4 So great, so vast a sacrifice,
May well my hope revive:
If GOD's own Son thus bleeds and dies,
The sinner sure may live.
5 O that these cords of love divine,
Might draw me, Lord to thee,
Thou hast my heart, it shall be thine —
Thine it shall ever be!
