Author: John Bowring Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #193 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 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. Topics: Lent; Peace Inner; Pilgrimage; Year A Epiphany 4; Year A Holy Cross; Year B Lent 3; Year B Holy Cross; Year C Holy Cross Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: RATHBUN
