[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.
[THE GLORY OF THESE FORTY DAYSVERSE 1]
The glory of these forty days we celebrate with songs of praise; For Christ through whom all things were made himself has fasted and has prayed.
[VERSE 2]
Alone and fasting Moses saw the loving God who gave the law; and to Elijah fasting came the steeds and chariots of flame.
[VERSE 3]
So Daniel trained his mystic sight, delivered from the lion's might and John, the Bridegroom's friend, became the herald of Messiah's name.
[VERSE 4]
Then grant us Lord, like them to be full oft in fast and prayer with thee, our spirits strengthen with thy grace, and give us joy to see thy face.
[VERSE 5]
O Father, Son, and Spirit blest, to thee be every prayer addressed, who art in threefold Name adored, from age to age, the only Lord.
