as thou hast promised, draw men unto thee.
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,

4. Thy kingdom come, that earth’s despair may cease
beneath the shadow of its healing peace.
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
till all the world adore his sacred name.

creation’s praises rise before thy throne.
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
