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