Composer: | George Thalben-Ball, 1896-1987 |
1 O cross of Christ, immortal tree
on which our Saviour died,
the world is sheltered by your arms
that bore the crucified.
2 From bitter death and barren wood
the tree of life is made;
its branches bear unfailing fruit
and leaves that never fade.
3 O faithful cross, you stand unmoved
while ages run their course:
foundation of the universe,
creation's binding force.
4 Give glory to the risen Christ
and to his cross give praise,
the sign of God's unfathomed love,
the hope of all our days.
