Author: M. Lynwood Smith Hymnal: CC2002a #184 (2002) First Line: Around ev'rywhere men are lost in despair Refrain First Line: Still it stands today, tow'ring over our way Lyrics: 1 Around ev'rywhere men are lost in despair,
and it seems hopeless and so drear;
They know not their fate, and it's growing so late
and they surely will feel their loss,
But there is a way, and it's only the way
for the lost and the sinful here,
There's no other hope for the souls who grope,
but the cross, the old rugged cross.
2 With all man can do, he can never undo
all the wretchedness sin had made;
There's no remedy if we leave Calvary,
for your soul with its sinful gloss;
The Lord took my blame, and He died for my shame,
and the judgment of God was stayed;
When He died that day, He my debt did pay;
oh, thank God, thank God for the cross! Languages: English Tune Title: [Around ev'rywhere men are lost in despair]
