C. M. * the New Commandment. |
1 Beneath the shadow of the cross, As earthly hopes remove, His new commandment Jesus gives, His blessed word of love. 2 O bond of union, strong and deep! O bond of perfect peace! Not even the lifted cross can harm, If we but hold to this. 3 Then, Jesus, be thy spirit ours! And swift our feet shall move To deeds of pure self-sacrifice, "And the sweet tasks of love."
