Christ and his cross, delightful theme!
The source of endless joy;
May it engage my chief esteem,
My warmest thoughts employ.
Hence I derive a solid hope
Of happiness above;
The bears my drooping spirits up,
Inflames my zeal and love.
Christ is my glory and defence,
Through this wide wilderness;
My sole support and confidence
In seasons of distress.
Midst dangers great, temptations strong,
To him for help I flee;
And he shall be my ceaseless song
Through all eternity.
