Lift High the Cross (arr. R. Hillert)

1. Come, Christians, follow where our Savior trod, The Lamb victorious, Christ the Son of God.

2. Led on their way by this triumphant sign, The hosts of God in unity combine.

3. Each newborn servant of the Crucified bears on the brow the seal of Christ who died.

4. O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree, Your death has brought us life eternally.

5. So shall our song of triumph ever be: Praise to the Crucified for victory!
