Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.

Our King victorious, Christ, the Son of God. [Refrain]

The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine. [Refrain]

Bears on the brow the seal of him who died. [Refrain]

Your death has bought us life eternally. [Refrain]

Praise to the Crucified for victory! [Refrain]

Estribillo:
Alcen la cruz, emblema de su amor;
que el mundo al fin conozca al Salvador.

El rey victorioso, Cristo, Hijo de Dios. [Estribillo]

El pueblo de Dios avanza sin temer. [Estribillo]

En su frente lleva el signo en que vencio. [Estribillo]

Allí promestiste llevarnos a la luz. [Estribillo]

Al rey vencedor que en cruz supo triunfar. [Estribillo] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Languages: English; Spanish Tune Title: CRUCIFER
