P.M.

IF you would know the peace of God,

Fear not the cold world’s frown;

Walk in the way that the Master trod,

The cross is the way to the crown.

The cross is the way to the crown,

The cross is the way to the crown;

Would you win a place in the heavenly race,

The cross is the way to the crown.

2

If you would pass the pearly gate,

With burdens all laid down;

Press forward then and no longer wait,

The cross is the way to the crown.

3

If you would wear a robe of white,

And with the blest sit down,

In that fair morning with endless light,

The cross is the way to the crown.

4

If you would stand before the throne,

Where Christ has won renown;

You must be saved through the Lord alone,

The cross is the way to the crown.
