Christ And His Cross Is All Our Theme

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9700 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Christ and His cross is all our theme; The mysteries that we speak Are scandal in the Jew’s esteem And folly to the Greek. 2 But souls enlightened from above With joy receive the word; They see what wisdom, power, and love Shine in their dying Lord. 3 The vital savor of His name Restores their fainting breath; But unbelief perverts the same To guilt, despair, and death. 4 Till God diffuse His graces down, Like showers of heav’nly rain, In vain Apollos sows the ground, And Paul may plant in vain.
