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 more lustre 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. |
Sir John Bowring. |
