O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree, as thou hast promised, draw the world to thee.[Refrain]4. So shall our song of triumph ever be: Praise to the Crucified for victory! [Refrain]

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITHI believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his

only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from

thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the

body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
