At The Cross of Jesus

"There is love at the cross of Jesus, and everlasting love
That could leave the courts of heaven and the glory of God above,
That could come to a world of evil for the sake of the sinners lost,
That could drain the cup of anguish and never count the cost.

"There is peace at the cross of Jesus, where God was reconciled,
Where we know our sins forgiven and hear Him say, 'My child';
Where He bore the world's transgressions and all our debt was paid;
Where the weight of the Father's anger on His tender heart was laid.

"There is life at the cross of Jesus, where the victory was won,
Where sin and death were conquered by the sinless, deathless One;
O grave, where is thy triumph? O death, where is thy sting?
For the Lord of life and glory passed through thy gates a King!"
