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
Through Christ the blessed Son
Who hath redemption won
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!
