In the cross of Christ I glory. Dark, a world that once did shine.
Cross, thy Light, thy Proclamation: "Jacob's chosen race is Mine!"
All that God the Father giveth unto Jesus Christ the Son.
Death and hell for each is vanquished. Life for each His Own is won.
All this empty world has to offer staggers at the Saviour's claim:
I AM come to save My people. JESUS Christ shall be My Name.
Dying ones, a dying Saviour came to conquer death for thee.
At the cross, your sin laid upon Him; in His death, your soul is set free.
Once, the love of this world could sway me. I, with dying thieves, agreed:
"Washed in blood! Ridiculous notion! Jesus? None but fools believe!"
Came the day, He found me dying. Death and hell awaited me.
Like the thief, I cried to the Saviour, "Wash me! LORD! Have mercy on me!"
Grace bestowed, my soul enlightened. My Redeemer took my place.
All my sin and all my transgression, at the cross is all erased.
Glorious cross! O glorious Saviour! Crucified, the world to me.
Now, my heart delights to consider: Christ is all the world to me.
Bread of Life, in Thy Body, broken, is a taste of love divine.
Lamb of God, Thy blood, an offering: my soul drinks the finest wine.
All the dainties sin could offer, lure no longer, nor entreat.
At the cross, my soul is found feasting: fare, no worldly ones can eat.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our LORD Jesus Christ, by Whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
