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.
