The Blessed Cross My Story

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Galatians 6:14

Verse 1

O the blessed cross of Christ my story! There a heavy laden soul he found me; With the tender chords of love He bound me, Turned my sorrow into joy and song.

Chorus

To the cross will I cling, Till I reach the golden city of glory; To the cross will I cling, Till my Saviour’s crown of life I wear.

Verse 2

O the blessed cross of Christ my story! There He cleansed me in the fount of healing; And the wonders of His grace revealing, Clothed my spirit in a robe of praise.

Chorus

To the cross will I cling, Till I reach the golden city of glory; To the cross will I cling, Till my Saviour’s crown of life I wear.

Verse 3

O the blessed cross of Christ my story! Though I tell it o’er and o’er forever, Yet my thankful heart shall weary never Of a story that I love so well.

Chorus

To the cross will I cling, Till I reach the golden city of glory; To the cross will I cling, Till my Saviour’s crown of life I wear.
