620--The cross it standeth fast,

The cross it standeth fast,

620

	1.	The cross it standeth fast,
		Hallelujah! hallelujah!
		Defying every 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.
	2.	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 hath redemption won,
		Hallelujah for the cross!
	3.	'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 offering,
		Of Christ, our living King,
		Hallelujah for the cross!
