Hallelujah for the Cross!

OHT Incipit:  

The cross, it standeth fast,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Defying ev'ry 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,
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,
Through Christ, the blessed Son,
Who did for sin atone,
Hallelujah for the cross!

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah for the cross;
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
it shall never suffer loss!

'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!

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah for the cross;
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
it shall never suffer loss!
