Fore’er victorious cross

Fore’er victorious cross!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

All foes meet total loss!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

O’er Hades’ fierceness hurled

O’er hateful

churning world

O’er flesh’s powers unfurled—

Boast triumphant in the cross!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

E’er victorious is His cross!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Boast triumphant in the cross!

The cross is life to me.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

It grants authority.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Self

feelings

rise in vain;

Earth’s powers can’t remain;

All enemies are slain!

Overcoming by the cross!

This banner

joyfully—

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I’ll raise eternally—

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

My weakness turns to might

Depression to delight

Dark gloom to glory bright—

Liberated by the cross!
