Hymn 535 IN THE CROSS Lyrics

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 grows 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,
Joy thro’ all time abide.
