Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Tabernacle Hymns #279 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 life overtake 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 our 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. Topics: Christ; Cross; Opening; Worship Languages: English Tune Title: [In the cross of Christ I glory]
