On the Cross
Joyous Celebration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream they tell me
Flows from Calvary's mountain
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Rest beyond the river
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ruptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross
I'll watch and wait
Hoping trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ruptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ruptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Preaching
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ruptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Hallelujah
Hallelujah let give Him the praise
There's rest
On the other side
No more pain
