IN THE CROSS OF THE CHRIST I GLORY
1. In the cross of
Christ I glory,
Tow'ring 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 more 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.
5. In the cross of
Christ I glory,
Tow'ring o'er the
wrecks of time;
All the light of
sacred story
Gathers round its
head sublime.
