��John Bowrino (1702-1872).

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 :

From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day.

Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure. By the cross are sanctified ;

Peace is there, that knows no measure, Joys, that through all time abide.

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.
