Refrain:
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore His sacred name.
1 Come, Christians, follow where our Captain 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 All newborn soldiers of the Crucified
Bear on the brow the seal of Him who died. [Refrain]
4 O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
As Thou hast promised, draw us all to Thee. [Refrain]
5 Let ev'ry race and ev'ry language tell
Of Him who saves our lives from death and hell. [Refrain]
6 So shall our song of triumph ever be;
Praise to the Crucified for victory! [Refrain]

Estribillo:
¡Alzad la cruz! ¡A Cristo pregonad!
¡Del buen Jesús el nombre proclamad!
1 Venid, creyentes, a Jesús seguid,
al rey de reyes vuestro amor rendid. [Estribillo]
2 La senda sigue del triunfal Señor,
cristiana hueste, con total valor. [Estribillo]
3 Soldados fieles del Señor Jesús,
alzas valientes la triunfante cruz. [Estribillo]
4 Jesus clavado en la enhiesta cruz,
¡Por ti salvado, llénanos de luz! [Estribillo]
5 Himnos de gloria sin cesar alzad,
¡Le gran victoria de Jesús cantad! [Estribillo]
