Author: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #169 (2007) 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.
Amen. Topics: Comfort; Cross; Hope; Jesus Christ; Lent Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 Languages: English Tune Title: RATHBUN
