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.

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.

When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds new luster to the day.

Bane and blessing pain and pleasure
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure
Joys that through all time abide.
