| 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. |
