He bears our sins upon the Tree, He brings us mercy from above. 3 The Cross! it takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day And sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes all terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above.
