THE WAYSIDE CROSS

Words: C.L. St.John
Music: H.R. Palmer

[Dad's key: G]

Verse
But which (F)way shall I take in this darkness of night?
I'm a (C)pilgrim a-weary and (G)spent is my (C)light.
To the (F)right? To the left? Ah (Am)me, if I (Dm)knew!
But the (Bb)night is so (Fdim)dark, (C)and the passers so (F)few.

Chorus 1
Near, (F)near thee, my son, stands the (Bb)old wayside (F)cross,
Like a (C)beckon of light to a world that is (F)lost;
And its crossbeam doth point to that (Bb)bright golden (F)span
That (C)bridges the (F)waters so (C)safely for (F)man,
That (Bb)bridges those dark (F)waters so (C)safely for (F)man.

[Repeat Verse]

Chorus 2
Near, (F)near thee, loved one, stands the (Bb)old wayside (F)cross,
On which (C)Jesus died and suffered such (F)loss;
And its crossbeam doth point to that (Bb)bright golden (F)span
That (C)bridges the (F)waters so (C)safely for (F)man,
That (Bb)bridges those dark (F)waters so (C)safely for (F)man.
