The Army and Navy Hymnal/Hymns/In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Appearance
- 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. - When the woes of life o'er-take me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo! it glows with peace and joy. - When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love up on my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds new lustre to the day. - Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that thro' all time abide.
Amen.
