Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Praise and Worship #57 (1951) First Line: In the cross of Christ I glory Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time.
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of ife 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 more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the Cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that thro' all time abide. Languages: English Tune Title: [In the cross of Christ I glory]
