Lift High The Cross / The Glory Of These Forty Days (alt.) by Sydney H Nicholson — Lyrics

[LIFT HIGH THE CROSSREFRAIN] Lift high the cross the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore His sacred Name. [VERSE 1] Come, Christians follow where our Savior trod, our King victorious Christ the Son of God. [VERSE 2] Come be a servant of the Crucified bear on your brow the seal of Christ who died. [VERSE 3] Our Lord who suffered once for you and me, His death has brought us life eternally. [VERSE 4] So shall our song of triumph ever be, we praise the Crucified for victory.

About Lift High The Cross / The Glory Of These Forty Days (alt.)

This sheet brings together two powerful hymns that guide a choir through the solemnity and ultimate triumph of the Lenten season. "Lift High The Cross" serves as a bold, rallying cry for the congregation. With its soaring unison refrain and harmonised verses, it is a favourite for processions, calling the faithful to look upon the cross not just as a symbol of suffering, but as the banner of Christ's victory.

Following it is "The Glory Of These Forty Days," a reflective piece that draws the mind deep into the wilderness of Lent. The verses recount the fasting of Christ, Moses, Elijah, and Daniel, connecting the present congregation's Lenten discipline to the ancient prophets. Sung in steady, stacked harmony, it grounds the choir in a spirit of prayer and quiet endurance, making it an ideal choice for Offertory or Communion during the forty days of preparation.
