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

the Lamb victorious, Christ the Son of God. [Refrain]

the hosts of God in conquering ranks combine. [Refrain]
3 Each newborn servant of the Crucified
bears on the brow the seal of him who died. [Refrain]
4 Saviour, once lifted on the glorious tree,
your death has brought us life eternally. [Refrain]
5 So shall our song of triumph ever be
praise to the Crucified for victory. [Refrain]
