Lift High The Cross Lyrics
George William KitchinChorus
Lift high the cross the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore His sacred name
Verse 1
Come brethren follow where our Savior trod
Our King victorious Christ the Son of God
Verse 2
Led on their way by this triumphant sign
The hosts of God in conqu'ring ranks combine
Verse 3
O Lord once lifted on the glorious tree
As Thou hast promised draw men unto Thee
Verse 4
Set up Thy throne that earth's despair may cease
Beneath the shadow of its healing peace
Verse 5
For Thy blest cross which doth for all atone
Creation's praises rise before Thy throne
Verse 6
Each newborn servant of the Crucified
Bears on the brow the seal of Christ who died
Verse 7
So shall our song of triumph ever be
Praise to the Crucified for victory
