Cross, It Standeth Fast, The

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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain

'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!
