237- In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Jesus Christ: Glory and Praise

1

  • In the cross of Christ I glory,
  • Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
  • All the light of sacred story
  • Gathers round its head sublime.

2

  • When the woes of life o'ertake me,
  • Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
  • Never shall the cross forsake me;
  • Lo! it glows with peace and joy.

3

  • When the sun of bliss is beaming
  • Light and love upon my way,
  • From the cross the radiance streaming
  • Adds new luster to the day.

4

  • Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
  • By the cross are sanctified;
  • Peace is there that knows no measure,
  • Joys that through all time abide.
