Author: Miss F. G. Browning Hymnal: The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School #3 (1886) First Line: By the cross of Christ I linger Refrain First Line: Hold up the cross to a dying world Lyrics: 1 By the cross of Christ I linger,
Reading there the story old,
Traced in blood by God's own finger,
When His love to man was told.
Refrain:
Hold up the cross to a dying world,
Hold up the cross, hold up the cross;
Hold up the cross to a dying world,
Hold up the cross.
2 By the cross I'm lifted nearer
To the heart of Him who died;
Daily grows my vision clearer
To behold the Crucified. [Refrain]
3 By the cross of Christ my longing
For a crown is satisfied;
Thoughts of joy beyond are thronging,
As I stand the cross beside. [Refrain] Topics: Faith; Salvation Languages: English Tune Title: [By the cross of Christ I linger]
Hold up the Cross
