(Organ introduction)

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore his glorious name!

Come, Christian people, sing your praises, shout!
If we are silent, even stones cry out

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore his glorious name!

Jesus, you wept to see our human strife,
teach us compassion for each human life

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore his glorious name!

Peace was your plea and peace your loving theme
let peace be our passport, peace a living dream

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore his glorious name!

Great is the cost of walking on this road,
to follow and suffer with the Son of God

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore his glorious name!

Worlds to be born and children yet to be
come, take up this song into eternity

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore his glorious name!
