Author: Sir John Bowring Hymnal: Christ in Song #446 (1908) First Line: In the cross of Christ I glory 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 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 new luster to the sky.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there, that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide. Topics: Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: RATHBUN
