- 1The cross that He gave may be heavy,But it ne’er outweighs His grace;The storm that I feared may surround me,But it ne’er excludes His face.The cross is not greater than His grace,The storm cannot hide His blessed face;I am satisfied to knowThat with Jesus here below,I can conquer ev’ry foe.
- 2The thorns in my path are not sharperThan composed His crown for me;The cup that I drink not more bitterThan He drank in Gethsemane.The cross is not greater than His grace,The storm cannot hide His blessed face;I am satisfied to knowThat with Jesus here below,I can conquer ev’ry foe.
- 3His will have I joy in fulfilling;I am walking in the light;My all to the Lord I am bringing,He alone can keep me right.The cross is not greater than His grace,The storm cannot hide His blessed face;I am satisfied to knowThat with Jesus here below,I can conquer ev’ry foe.
