In the Cross of Christ

Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,563 hymnals First Line: In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering over the wrecks of time Lyrics: 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. 5 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.

Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 163 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee! 2 Of Thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. 3 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast, Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. 4 Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. 5 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting! Stretched the hand and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. 6 Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung!

That alone be all our glory; All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only Source of all that’s good. Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor Comes to us thro' Jesus’ blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance By His Spirit sent from heav’n; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are all forgiv’n." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom? He must give it, Hearing ears and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires, Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name-- He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same. Amen. Topics: The Redeemer Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 Used With Tune: RINGE RECHT
