In the cross of Christ I glory
1
In the cross of Christ I glory,Towering o'er the wrecks of time;All the light of sacred storyGathers 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 beamingLight and love upon my way,From the cross the radiance streamingAdds new 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.

In the cross of Christ I glory,Towering o'er the wrecks of time;All the light of sacred storyGathers round its head sublime.
