My aunt has asked me to find the rest of this hymn, this is the only line she can remember. I'd appreciate any help, as I've looked on just about every site and can't even get close. Thank you!

Can anyone help me out with this please - I would love to find this for her soon, so I can type it out and give it to her for Christmas. Thank you!

I think I can remember part of it.

On calvary's brow there was planted a cross
That lifted a man up to shame.
The man on that cross was the dear Lamb of God
Who died a lost world to reclaim.
Chorus
The Christ of the cross is the theme of my song.
The wonderful Chrost of the cross.
He, redemption has made, He my ransom has paid.
So I'll praise Him, the Christ of the cross

This song was one of my Dad's favorites. I would love to know if there are more verses and if there is sheet music for it. If I cannot locate the music, I will have to sit down at the piano and figure it out.

another verse -
Others who will praise the cross of the Christ
The Christ of the cross is my theme
For though we must cherish the old rugged cross
'Tis only the Christ can redeem
