Lord As to Thy Dear Cross We Flee - Advent Hymn with Lyrics for Repentance and Christian Unity

A beautiful hymn for Advent, and also for Lent, as we enter a time of contemplation and repentance. There are some very important lyrics about unity and forgiveness, as well as peace in the midst of strife. I hope this hymn ministers to you in a meaningful way and brings comfort and peace.

If you enjoyed this hymn, consider saving it or any of your other favourites to your playlists on Spotify or Apple Music to listen again in the future and help these songs reach more people. Even if your playlist has even just two likes, it does actually help so much with the song getting heard by others, and also makes my day to see that people are enjoying it in their everyday lives.

If you'd like sheet music for this hymn or if there's another one you would like but don't see published yet, just let me know and I'll see if I can make it for you!

Lastly, consider this channel your own personal hymn-sing - I'm always hoping for more requests for hard-to-find songs. If you have a favourite hymn you'd like to hear or something you can't find anywhere else on the internet, please leave a comment below and let me know, or email [email protected] and I'll see if I can do it for you! The older and less known, the better! It's always a delight to unearth treasures from the past and give them a new voice to reach believers in a new era.

Lyrics - Lord, As to Thy Dear Cross We Flee
Author: John Hampden Gurney

1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee,
And plead to be forgiven,
So let Thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.

2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear;
Like Thee, to do our Father's will;
Our brethren's grief to share.

5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,
Or brethren faithless prove,
Then, like Thine own, be all our aim
To conquer them by love.

6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven
O may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow Thee to heaven!
