Author: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #327b (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 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.
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. Topics: Hope and Consolation; Passiontide; Protection; Suffering and Sorrow; Year C Proper 9 Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: ST OSWALD
