Текст песни Добрая весть - 0426 На Далеком Холме

On a distant hill
the old cross is visible to me,
A sign of shame, suffering and anguish.
We sing about the cross
because on it
The best friend of sinners was crucified.

Chorus:
The old cross condemned vanity
He gave rest to weary hearts.
I clung to the cross with my soul,
Through him will I find the crown.

The old cross is forgotten.
The world rushes to destruction.
The Cross of Christ is our strength and honor.
The eternal descended from heaven,
lived on earth in a body,
To take him to Golgotha.

The old cross is stained
but he is not terrible to me,
It revealed God's love to us:
The blood of Jesus Christ
spilled from the cross,
To atone for my sins.

The old cross to proclaim
and to call to Christ, -
That's what I give myself to.
On earthly wanderings
I will go to the eternal home,
He will accept me for his glory.
