The Church Hymnal ‎#101

101. We sing the praise of Him Who died

1 We sing the praise of Him Who died,
Of Him Who died upon the Cross;
The sinner's hope let men deride:
For this we count the world but loss.

2 Inscribed upon the Cross we see
In shining letters, God is love:
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 its 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.
