108. Lift High the Cross
Refrain (Unison):
Lift high the Cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.
1 Come, Christians, follow this triumphant sign.
The hosts of God in unity combine. (Refrain)
2 Each newborn servant of the Crucified
bears on the brow the seal of Christ who died. (Refrain)
3 O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
your death has brought us life eternally. (Refrain)
4 So shall our song of triumph ever be:
praise to the crucified for victory. (Refrain)
