The Cross it standeth fast-- Hallelujah! The winds of hell have blown, Yet 'tis not overthrown; Hallelujah! It shall stand forever. It is the old Cross still-- Hallelujah! On which the living One Did for man's sin atone; Hallelujah! It shall stand forever. Old Cross, on thee I lean-- Hallelujah! Old, and yet ever new, I glory still in you; Hallelujah! Thou shalt stand forever. Beneath thy shade I sit-- Hallelujah! O tree of health divine, My refuge, even mine; Hallelujah! Thou shalt stand forever. The blood is on thee yet-- Hallelujah! The blood that maketh clean The soul from stain and sin; Hallelujah! Thou shalt stand forever. And yet beyond thee still-- Hallelujah! I look and see a throne, Christ's throne and mine in one; Hallelujah! Throne and Cross forever. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE AFTER THE PAPAGO by JAMES GALVIN ROAST LEVIATHAN by LOUIS UNTERMEYER DUTY SURVIVING SELF-LOVE; THE ONLY SURE FRIEND OF DECLINING LIFE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE ODE TO TRANQUILLITY by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE |
