��Thomas Kh,ly (l7i>"J-185-l).
WE sing the praise of him who died,
Of hiiu who died upon the cross ;
The sinner's hope let men deride,
For this we count the world but loss.
Inscribed upon the cross we see.
In shining letters, ' God is Love ' ;
He bears our sins ujjon the tree ;
He brings us mercv from above.
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 ;
It makes the coward spirit brave,
And nerves the feeble arm for fight ;
It takes its terror from the grave,
And gilds the bed of death with light ;
The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angel's theme in hcavou above.
