This hymn has a unique tune.

 

 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.
