Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

Come, let us follow where our Captain trod, 

our King victorious, Christ the Son of God: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

Led on their way by this triumphant sign, 

he hosts of God in conquering ranks combine: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

Each new-born soldier of the Crucified 

bears on his brow the seal of him who died: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

This is the sign which Satan's legions fear 

and angels veil their faces to revere: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

Saved by the cross whereon their Lord was slain, 

earth's fallen children their lost home regain: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

From north and south, from east and west they raise 

in growing unison their song of praise: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree, 

as thou hast promised, draw us unto thee: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

Let every race and every language tell 

of him who saves our souls from death and hell: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

From farthest regions let them homage bring, 

and on his cross adore their Saviour King: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name. 

Set up thy throne, 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. 

For thy blest cross which doth for all atone 

creation's praises rise before thy throne: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim 

till all the world adore his sacred name.
