First Line: The cross it standeth fast,

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 ! . . . hallelu - - jah
for the cross ! . . .
Hallelujah ! . . . hallelujah ! . . .
It shall never . . suffer . . loss !
Hallelujah ! hallelujah ! hallelujah for the cross !
Hallelujah ! hallelujah !
It shall never suffer loss.

2 It is the old cross still,
Its triumph let us tell,
The grace of God here shone,
Through Christ the blessed Son,
Who did for sin atone,
Hallelujah for the cross !

3 Twas here the debt was paid,
Our sins on Jesus laid,
So round the cross we sing,
Of Christ our Offering,
Of Christ our living King,
Hallelujah for the cross !
