362. Lift High the Cross

Come, Christians, follow where our Captain trod,
Our King victorious, Christ, the Son of God.

Refrain

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 conqu'ring ranks combine.

Refrain

Lift high the Cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred name.

All newborn soldiers of the Crucified
Bear on their brows 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 men unto 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.
