1 I walk rejoicing from the cross,
With Christ, my risen Lord,
In hope of His eternal life,
And by His holy word,
From the cross, from the cross,
With Christ, my risen Lord.

2 Oh, peace! oh, comfort! from the cross
The light of glory streams;
Makes clear the way thro’ death’s dark vale,
And leads me by its beams.
From the cross, from the cross,
The light of glory streams.

3 Oh, joy! oh, rapture! thro’ the cross,
Death’s portal fallen lies;
And, lo, my coming Lord appears,
To bear me to the skies.
Thro’ the cross, thro’ the cross,
Death’s portal fallen lies.

4 O sinner, standing at the cross,
He bids you look and live;
Yield up your heart with all its dross,
That He may pardon give.
At the cross, at the cross,
He bids you look and live.
