The cross-we all were there,
|
|
| 1. | The cross-we all were there, |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | For all that death did share! |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | God there upon it died, |
| | And man and all beside |
| | Were wholly crucified- |
| | Hallelujah for the cross! |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | Hallelujah for the cross! |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | It shall never suffer loss! |
| 2. | The cross, it holdeth fast, |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | All things upon it cast, |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | Two arms extended strong |
| | Hold those who there belong; |
| | We're through with self-our song: |
| | Hallelujah for the cross! |
| 3. | 'Tis there man died in God, |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | There ceased this human clod, |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | With joy we all declare, |
| | We're terminated there! |
| | We'll sing now and fore'er, |
| | Hallelujah for the cross! |
| 4. | 'Tis there man died in God, |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | Fulfilling thus His plan, |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | Through death He was released |
| | And now He had increased; |
| | His life is our rich feast- |
| | Hallelujah for the cross! |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | God has been released in us! |
| | Hallelujah! hallelujah! |
| | Hallelujah for the cross! |
