In the cross of Christ I glory by Ithamar Conkey — Lyrics
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.
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.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
light and love upon my way,
