Author: Sir John Bowring Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #262 (1913) 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 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 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 through all time abide.
5 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. Topics: The Church Year Seragesima; The Church Year Sexagesima; Jesus Christ Our Atoner Tune Title: [In the cross of Christ I glory]
