The Convention Hymnal Title of Hymn 53: In the Cross of Christ I Glory by Sir John Bowring

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.
