141. Lift High the Cross
Refrain:
Lift High the Cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore His sacred name.
1 Come, brethren, follow where our Savior trod
Our King victorious, Christ, the Son of God. (Refrain)
2 Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conqu'ring ranks combine. (Refrain)
3 O Lord, once lifted on the glorious Tree,
As Thou hast promised, draw men unto Thee. (Refrain)
4 Set up Thy throne, and earth's despair may cease
Beneath the shadow of its healing peace. (Refrain)
5 For Thy blest Cross which doth for us atone,
Creation's praises rise before Thy throne. (Refrain)
