HALLELUJAH FOR THE CROSS

VERSE 1:
D   G                  G/D
The cross, it standeth fast—
        D7           G
Hallelu-jah, hallelu-jah!
   A           E
De-fying every blast—
      D            A7 D
Halle-lujah, halle-lu-jah!

The winds of hell have blown,

The world its hate hath shown,
    D7             G
Yet it is not over-thrown—
C     G/D   D7      G
Halle-lujah for the cross!

CHORUS:
G                 D7
Hallelujah, halle-lujah,
                   G
Hallelujah for the cross;
                  C
Hallelujah, halle-lujah,
         G/D   D7     G
It shall never suffer loss!

VERSE 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 blessèd Son,
Who did for sin atone—
Hallelujah for the cross!

(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE 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!

(REPEAT CHORUS)
