1 Come, Christians, follow where the Master 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.
2 Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
the hosts of God in conqu'ring ranks combine.
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.
3 All newborn foll'wer of the Crucified
bears on the brow the seal of him who died.
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.
4 O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
your death has bought us life eternally.
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.
5 So shall our song of triumph ever be:
praise to the Crucified for victory!
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIFER
