The glories of the Cross I sing
When high and lifted up;
For Jesus, heaven’s anthems ring
When on His life we sup.
He’s here in bread and wine made His
In Risen Life for all;
We now know truth of all He is—
God’s Son on whom we call.
He speaks but once for all our time:
“This is my Body, Blood,”
And we in Him new life there find
For we are understood.
Like us the Father’s Son became
Except for Adam’s sin;
We’re by the Second Adam claimed,
And we can live again.
We eat and drink His Risen Life,
Find Him and Whose we are–
Discover He’s the world’s true light
Announced by Bethl’m’s Star.
In each of us His life now shines
Through Cross raised on a hill,
And joy we know is His new wine:
He all our dreams fulfills.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
