So many times have I found myself near The Cross, that it seems more like home to me than all the joyful occasions God has afforded me. This is not because I am a masochist. The glory that I find is well worth any pain I had to experience to get there, and I consider myself quite fortunate to have been given this opportunity
The refrain in the Baptist hymnal from the early 1990's goes "n the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, til my ransomed soul shall find rest beyond the river." the "ransomed soul" referring to what Jesus' death on the cross accomplished for our souls by paying for our ransom from sin's enslavement. When they changed the word to "raptured soul" they took the meaning and continuity away from Fanny Crosby's original and took the focus off Jesus and put it on our emotional response. Typical of the modern church. Beware of preaching and teaching that pleases your ears but does nothing to convict you of sin or point to it's conqueror, Jesus.
Our Christian life altogether depends on two things: the cross and the life-giving Spirit. The significance of the cross is of two aspects: the aspect of redemption and the aspect of life. Christianity knows only the shallow aspect of redemption. Stanza 1 of Hymns, #1059 says,
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
We can compare these hymns by A. B. Simpson to hymn #1059, another hymn on knowing the cross of Christ. The first verse and the chorus say:
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
This truth in Galatians is not conveyed in hymn #1059. This hymn was written before A. B. Simpson's writings. At the time it was written, the revelation concerning the Lord's subjectiveness was not that deep. It is a good hymn, but it is obvious that the hymns by Brother Simpson are of a much higher standard.
