(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
The cross, it standeth fast — Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Defying ev’ry blast — Hallelujah, hallelujah!
The winds of hell have blown, The world its hate hath shown,
Yet it is not overthrown — Hallelujah for the cross!
REFRAIN
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah for the cross;
Hallelujah, hallelujah, it shall never suffer loss!
2
It is the old cross still — Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Its triumph let us tell — Hallelujah, hallelujah!
The grace of God here shone Thru Christ, the blessed Son.
Who did for sin atone — Hallelujah for the cross!
REFRAIN
3
T’was here the debt was paid — Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Our sins on Jesus laid — Hallelujah, hallelujah!
So round the cross we sing Of Christ, our offering,
Of Christ, our living King — Hallelujah for the cross!
