In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Author: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Hymnal: LW1982 #101 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Person Name: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time. All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'er take 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.

Awake, my soul, and sing Of him who died for thee, And hail him as thy matchless king Through all eternity. 2 Crown him the virgin's Son, The God incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won Which now his brow adorn; Fruit of the mystic rose, Yet of that rose the stem, The root whence mercy ever flows, The babe of Bethlehem. 3 Crown him the Lord of love. Behold his hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified. No angels in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bend their burning eyes At mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave And rose victorious in the strife For those he came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, The potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity. 6 Crown him the Lord of heav'n, Enthroned in worlds above, Crown him the king to whom is giv'n The wondrous name of Love. Crown him with many crowns As thrones before him fall; Crown him, ye kings, with many crowns, For he is king of all.
