In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Words: John Bowring, Hymns by John Bowring, 1825. There is a story (probably apocryphal) about the inspiration for these words. The tradition is that Bowring was sailing past the coast of Macao, China. On the shore were the remains of an old, fire gutted church. Above the ruins, he saw the church's cross still standing. The title of this hymn was carved on Bowring's tombstone.
