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!
Chorus:
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,
Thru Christ the blessed Son,
Who did for sin atone -
Hallelujah for the cross! [Chorus]
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 living King -
Hallelujah for the cross! [Chorus]
