Words

  1. 1Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim, Till all the world adore His sacred Name. 1. Come, brethren, follow where our Captain trod, our King victorious, Christ the Son of God.
  2. 2Led on their way by this triumphant sign, The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.
  3. 3Each newborn servant of the Crucified Bears on the brow the seal of Him Who died.
  4. 4This is the sign which Satan's legions fear and angels veil their faces to revere.
  5. 5Saved by this Cross whereon their Lord was slain, the sons of Adam their lost home regain.
