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...MEMORY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH LEONARDO'S 'MONNA LISA' by EDWARD DOWDEN LOCKSLEY HALL by ALFRED TENNYSON SONG by CHARLES GRANGER BLANDEN VERDANT GREEN AND THE CROW by ROBERT BRUCE SELFISHNESS by MARGARET E.
