Verses:  1   2   3   4 

 

 1  The cross that He gave may be heavy,

       But it ne'er outweighs His grace;

    The storm that I feared may surround me,

       But it ne'er excludes His face.

 

The cross is not greater than His grace,

The storm cannot hide His blessed face;

   I am satisfied to know

   That with Jesus here below,

   I can conquer every foe.

 

 2  The thorns in my path are not sharper

       Than composed His crown for me;

    The cup that I drink not more bitter

       Than He drank at Gethsemane.

 

The cross is not greater than His grace,

The storm cannot hide His blessed face;

   I am satisfied to know

   That with Jesus here below,

   I can conquer every foe.

 

 3  The light of His love shineth brighter,

       As it falls on paths of woe;

    The toil of my work groweth lighter,

       As I stoop to raise the low.

 

The cross is not greater than His grace,

The storm cannot hide His blessed face;

   I am satisfied to know

   That with Jesus here below,

   I can conquer every foe.

 

 4  His will I have joy in fulfilling,

       As I'm walking in His sight;

    My trials more blessings are bringing,

       Christ in them is my delight.

 

The cross is not greater than His grace,

The storm cannot hide His blessed face;

   I am satisfied to know

   That with Jesus here below,

   I can conquer every foe.
