"Peace and Joy", from the Sacred Harp Hymnal (1950 edition)
Text by John Bowring; Tune by Paine Denson
Recorded live April 21st, 2024 at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Alexandria VA
"In the cross of Christ I glory,
Tow’ring o’er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story,
Gathers ’round its head sublime.
When the woes of life o’ertake me,
Hopes deceive and fears annoy;
Never shall the cross forsake me,
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way;
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day.
Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are satisfied;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that from all time abide."
