Hallelujah for the Cross!

The cross

it stand­eth fast—

Hallelujah

hal­le­lujah!

Defying ev­ery blast—

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah!

The winds of hell have blown

The world its hate hath shown

Yet it is not ov­er­thrown—

Hallelujah for the cross!

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah

Hallelujah for the cross;

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah

It shall nev­er suf­fer loss!

It is the old cross still—

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah!

Its tri­umph let us tell—

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah!

The grace of God here shone

Thru Christ

the bless­èd Son

Who did for sin atone—

Hallelujah for the cross!

’Twas here the debt was paid—

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah!

Our sins on Je­sus laid—

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah!

So round the cross we sing

Of Christ

our of­fer­ing

Of Christ

our liv­ing king—

Hallelujah for the cross!
