1 The cross, it standeth fast,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Defying ev’ry blast,
Hallelujah for the cross!
The winds of hell have blown,
The world its hate hath shown,
Yet ‘tis not overthrown,
Hallelujah for the cross!
Refrain:
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
It ne’er shall suffer loss.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah for the cross!
2 It is the old cross still,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Its triumph let us tell,
Hallelujah for the cross!
The grace of God here shown,
Thro’ Christ, the blessed Son,
Who did for sin atone,
Hallelujah for the cross! [Refrain]
3 ’Twas here the debt was paid,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Our sins on Jesus laid,
Hallelujah for the cross!
So ‘round the cross we sing
Of Christ, our offering,
Of Christ, our living King,
Hallelujah for the cross! [Refrain]
