 1 

We sing the praise of Him who died,

Of Him who died upon the Cross;

The sinner's hope let men deride,

For this we count the world but loss.

 
 2 

Inscribed upon the Cross we see

In shining letters, God is love!

He bears our sins upon the tree,

He brings us mercy from above.

 
 3 

The Cross: it takes our guilt away;

It holds the fainting spirit up;

It cheers with hope the gloomy day,

And sweetens every bitter cup.

 
 4 

The balm of life, the cure of woe,

The measure and the pledge of love,

The sinner's refuge here below,

The angels' theme in heav'n above.
