| Text: | In the Cross of Christ I Glory |
| Author: | John Bowring |
| Tune: | TOMTER |
| Composer: | Bruce Neswick, b. 1956 |
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'ertake 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 luster 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.
