Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.
1 Come, Christians, follow where the Savior trod,
Our King victorious, Christ, the Son of God. [Refrain]
2 Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine. [Refrain]
3 Each new-born servant of the Crucified
Bears on the brow the seal of him who died. [Refrain]
4 O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
Your death has bought us life eternally. [Refrain]
5 So shall our song of triumph ever be:
Praise to the Crucified for victory! [Refrain]
