Lift high the cross the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore His sacred name
1 Come Christians follow where our Savior trod,
Our King victorious, Christ, the Son of God.
2 Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.
3 O Lord once lifted on this glorious Tree,
As Thou hast promised, draw men unto Thee.
4 Set up Thy throne, that earth's despair may cease
Beneath the shadow of its healing peace.
5 For Thy blest Cross which doth for all atone,
Creation's praises rise before Thy throne.
