(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
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 know s no measure,
Joys that thru all time abide.
