HYMN XII.
“ Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” 1 Cor. ii, 2.
“Nis dichon byd â’i holl deganau”
All the world, its pomp and pleasure,
Fail to mesmerise my mind;
But I realise a treasure
In The Saviour of mankind.
He alone, and not another,
Could atone for me, and He
Cleaveth closer than a brother
In the last extremity.
O to live in Him abiding
Every time I draw my breath,
And to sleep in Him confiding
When my soul departs in death!
Why should I disdain to carry
Patiently my cross, when He
Died upon a sanguinary
Tree on Calvary for me?
