He bears our sins upon the tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! It takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes the terror from the grave And gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heav'n above.

Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife; joyful music leads us sunward in the triumph song of life. Scripture: Job 38:7 Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
