Above the hills of time

- Above the hills of time the Cross is gleaming;
- Fair as the sun when night has turned to day;
- And from it love's pure light is richly streaming
- To cleanse the heart and banish sin away.
- To this dear Cross the eyes of men are turning
- Today as in the ages lost to sight;
- And so for Thee O Christ, men's hearts are yearning
- As ship-wrecked seamen yearn for morning light.
- The Cross, O Christ, Thy wondrous love revealing,
- Awakes our hearts as with the light of morn;
- And pardon o'er our sinful spirits stealing
- Tells us that we, in Thee, have been reborn.
- Like echoes to sweet temple bells replying,
- Our hearts, O Lord make answer to Thy love;
- And we will love Thee with a love undying,
- Till we are gathered to Thy home above
