Hymn CH4 397

In the cross of Christ I glory

In the cross of Christ I glory,

towering o’er the wrecks of time;

all the light of sacred story

gathers round its head sublime.

When the woes of life o’ertake me,

hopes deceive and fears annoy,

never shall the cross forsake me;

lo! it glows with peace and joy.

When the sun of bliss is beaming

light and love upon my way,

from the cross the radiance

streaming

adds new lustre to the day.

Bane and blessing, pain and

pleasure,

by the cross are sanctified;

peace is there that knows no

measure,

joys that through all time abide.

In the cross of Christ I glory,

towering o’er the wrecks of time;

all the light of sacred story

gathers round its head sublime.

John Bowring (1792-1872)

Prayer & Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name.

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin against us

Save us in the time of trial

and deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are

yours

now and for ever.

Amen.
