Hymn 246 THE CROSS IS NOT GREATER Lyrics
1. The cross that He gave may be heavy.
But it ne’er outweighs His grace;
The storm that is feared may surround me,
But it ne’er excludes His face
Chorus:
The cross is not greater than His grace,
The storm cannot hide His blessed face;
I am satisfied to know that with Jesus here below,
I can conquer every foe.
2. The thoms in my path are not sharper
Than composed His crown for me;
The cup that I drink not more bitter
Than He drank in Gethsemane,
3. The light of His love shinneth brighter,
As it falls on paths of woe;
The toil of my work groweth lighter,
As I stoop to raise the low,
4. His will I have joy in fulfilling,
As I’m walking in His sight,
My all to the blood I am bringing
It alone can keep me right
