243. Lift High the Cross
Refrain:
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.
1 Come, Christians, follow where our Savior ledd,
our King victorious, Jesus Christ, our Head. (Refrain)
2 All newborn servants of the Crucified
bear on their brows the seal of him who died. (Refrain)
3 O Lord, once lifted on the tree of pain,
draw all the world to seek you once again. (Refrain)
4 Let every race and every language tell
of him who saves our lives from death and hell. (Refrain)
