Hymn using same tune:

#466 (Tune 1)

 

 1  By the cross discern the spirit,

       Put the soul to death alway;

    Bear the cross, deny the self-life,

       Walk in spirit day by day.

 

 2  By the cross discern the spirit,

       Through the living Word of God,

    Separating soul from spirit,

       That the right path may be trod.

 

 3  By the cross discern the spirit,

       With the mind by light renewed,

    All emotion consecrated,

       And the will in love subdued.

 

 4  By the cross discern the spirit,

       Passing thru the riven veil,

    Flesh and soul are wholly broken,

       And the spirit doth prevail.

 

 5  By the cross discern the spirit,

       'Tis the holiest place divine;

    There commune with God in spirit

       And His presence will be thine.

 

 6  By the cross discern the spirit,

       And the Jordan River cross;

    Enter then the Land of Canaan,

       And enjoy Christ thru the cross.

 

 7  By the cross discern the spirit,

       And within the spirit move;

    As good land, on Christ e'er labor,

       And His riches thou wilt prove.
