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!
