Lift high the cross
The love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world
adore His sacred name.
Led on their way
By this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God
in conquering ranks combine.
Refrain:
Lift high the cross
The love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world
adore His sacred name.
Each newborn servant
of the Crucified
Bears on the brow
The seal of Him who died.
Refrain:
Lift high the cross
The love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world
adore His sacred name.
O Lord, once lifted
On the glorious tree,
As Thou hast promised
draw the world to Thee.
Refrain:
Lift high the cross
The love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world
adore His sacred name.
So shall our song
of triumph ever be:
Praise to the Crucified
For victory.
Refrain:
Lift high the cross
The love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world
adore His sacred name...
