In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,561 hymnals Topics: Adoration of Jesus Christ; Adoration of Jesus Christ 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 In the cross of Christ I glory,
there for all was grace made free,
none deserving, yet receiving
life thro' death at Calvary.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
by the cross are sanctified;
peace is there that knows no measure,
joys that thro' all time abide.
Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: RATHBUN

I Am Not Skilled to Understand
Author: Dorothy Greenwell Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Adoration of Jesus Christ; Adoration of Jesus Christ Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand
what God hath willed, what God has planned;
I only know at his right hand
stands one who is my Savior!
2 I take him at his word and deed;
“Christ died to save me,” this I read;
and in my heart I find a need
of him to be my Savior.
3 That he should leave his place on high
and come for sinners here to die;
you find it strange? So once did I,
before I knew my Savior.
4 I hope that Christ my Lord may see
fulfillment of his work in me;
and with his child contented be
as I with my dear Savior!
5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring
my strength, my comfort from this spring:
that he who lives to be my King
once died to be my Savior.
Scripture: Acts 5:31 Used With Tune: GREENWELL

O could I sound the glories forth,
Which in my Saviour shine!
I'd soar and touch the heavenly strings,
And vie with Gabriel while he sings
In notes almost divine.
2 I'd sing the precious blood He spilt,
My ransom from the dreadful guilt
Of sin and wrath divine;
I'd sing His glorious righteousness,
And magnify the wondrous grace
Which made salvation mine.
3 I'd sing the characters He bears,
And all the forms of love He wears,
Exalted on His throne;
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all His glories known.
4 Soon the delightful day will come
When my blest Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see His face;
Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in His grace. Used With Tune: ARIEL
O could I speak the matchless worth
