Cross of Christ! Lead Onward

Author: Rusell Kelso Carter, 1849-1928 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #771 Lyrics: 1. Cross of Christ! lead onward, Through the holy war; In this sign we conquer, Now and evermore. Not of man the power, Not to man the fame; We are victors only In our leader’s name. Refrain Cross of Christ! lead onward, Through the holy war; In this sign we conquer Now and evermore. 2. Not with pomp and pageant, Not in earthly pride; We must fight our battles Like the Crucified. Overcome by suff’ring, Conquer through defeat; Tried and tested daily In the furnace heat. [Refrain] 3. Panoplied in graces, Bold, yet humbly meek; Resting while we’re working Strong, but ever weak. Timid, though courageous, Gaining as we give; Crucified with Jesus, Yet, in Him, we live. [Refrain] 4. By a cloud encompassed, Witnesses above; Saints, apostles, prophets, Precious ones we love; While advance is sounding, Mounts the battle thrill. Cross of Christ! lead onward Where the Captain will. [Refrain] 5. Marching in the pathway That the Master trod, Walks One daily with us Like the Son of God. To the end enduring, Armor ne’er laid down Till the cross leads upward To the blood bought crown. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Cross of Christ! lead onward]
