229. 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 trod,
our King victorious, Christ, the Son of God. (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 souls from death and hell. (Refrain)

5 So shall our song of triumph ever be:
[raise to the Crucified for victory! (Refrain)
