1 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.
2 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.
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.
5 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.

1 “Are ye able,” said the Master, “To be crucified with me?” “Yea,” the sturdy dreamers answered, “To the death we follow Thee.”

2 Are ye able to remember, When a thief lifts up his eyes, That his pardoned soul is worthy Of a place in paradise? REFRAIN
3 Are ye able when the shadows Close around you with the sod, To believe that spirit triumphs, To commend your soul to God? REFRAIN
4 “Are ye able?” Still the Master Whispers down eternity, And heroic spirits answer Now, as then, in Galilee. REFRAIN
