Hallelujah for the cross

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.

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 blessed Son,
Who did for sin atone
Hallelujah for the cross.

'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.
