Author: Sir John Bowring, L. L. D. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #168 (1890) 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'er-take 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 lustre 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: The Lord Jesus Christ; Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Sufferings of; Cross Glorifying in; Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Sufferings of; Cross Glorifying in Languages: English Tune Title: RATHBUN
