Christ My Song - 589
The cross, it standeth fast - Cross and throne (Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Cross and throne.
1. The cross, it standeth fast.
Hallelujah!
The winds of hell have blown,
yet 'tis not overthrown.
Hallelujah!
It shall stand for ever. (PDF - Midi)
2. It is the old cross still,
hallelujah!
on which the living One
did for man's sin atone.
Hallelujah!
It shall stand for ever.
3. Old cross, on thee I lean.
Hallelujah!
Old, and yet ever new,
I glory still in you.
Hallelujah!
Thou shalt stand for ever.
4. Beneath thy shade I sit,
hallelujah!
O tree of health divine,
my refuge, even mine.
Hallelujah!
Thou shalt stand for ever.
5. The blood is on thee yet,
hallelujah!
the blood that maketh clean
the soul from stain and sin.
Hallelujah!
Thou shalt stand for ever.
6. And yet beyond thee still,
hallelujah!
I look and see a throne,
Christ's throne and mine in one.
Hallelujah!
Throne and cross for ever.
