5. Pray these words of the hymn: “In the Cross of Christ I Glory” 

     When the woes of life o’er-take me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, 

     Never shall the cross forsake me; Lo, it glows with peace and joy. 

     When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, 

     From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more luster to the day.

                                                                                                  Amen.
