How Splendid the Cross

How splendid the cross of Christ!

It brings life, not death;

light, not darkness;

Paradise, not its loss.

It is the wood on which

the Lord, like a great warrior,

was wounded in hands and feet and side,

but healed thereby our wounds.

A tree had destroyed us;

a tree now brought us life.
