Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 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.
