Text: | I Glory In The Cross Of Christ |

Tune: | [The Christ who died and shed His blood] |
Composer: | J. W. Ferrill |
1 The Christ who died and shed His blood,
On Calv'ry’s cross my soul to save,
Went into "hell and there withstood
Grim Satan and the fearsome grave."
2 He snatched the keys of death and hell,
And holds them now in mighty pow'r;
And ev'ry saint who fought and fell,
Shall rise and stand "in that glad hour."
3 On Calv'ry’s mount I laid my sin;
The cleansing blood poured out, like balm,
And now I carry peace within,
And wait the grave with perfect calm.
4 Or, if He comes before I die,
I know I’ll see His glorious face;
And, in His likeness I shall cry,
"All hail to Christ’s atoning grace."
