Elizabeth Cecilia Douglas Clephane was a ray of sunshine to the people in the small Scottish village of Melrose where she lived. Not only was she a poetess, but she spent much of her time serving the poor and needy of her area. She only lived to the age of 39, but her years of ministry touched many. Here is one of her hymns.<\/p>\n

“<\/em><\/strong>Beneath the Cross of Jesus<\/em><\/strong><\/a>“<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
\nThe shadow of a mighty Rock within a weary land.
\nA home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way,
\nFrom the burning of the noontide heat
\nAnd the burden of the day. <\/em><\/p>\n

Upon the cross of Jesus mine eyes at times can see
\nThe very dying form of One who suffered there for me;
\nAnd from my smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess:
\nThe wonders of redeeming love
\nAnd my unworthiness. <\/em><\/p>\n

I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place,
\nI ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face.
\nContent to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss,
\nMy sinful self, my only shame, my glory all the cross. <\/em><\/p>\n

O safe and happy shelter, o refuge tried and sweet,
\nO trysting place where heaven’s love And heaven’s justice meet!
\nAs to the holy patriarch that wondrous dream was giv’n,
\nSo seems my Savior’s cross to me, A ladder up to heav’n. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
