Refrain:
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore His sacred name.
1 Come, Christians, follow where our Captain trod,
Our king victorious, Christ, the Son of God. [Refrain]
2 Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conqu'ring ranks combine. [Refrain]
3 All newborn soldiers of the Crucified
Bear on their brows the seal of Him who died. [Refrain]

As Thou hast promised, draw us all to Thee. [Refrain]

Of Him who saves our lives from death and hell. [Refrain]

Praise to the Crucified for victory! [Refrain]
