125 ~ 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 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 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.
