Lift High the Cross undoubtedly is most frequently sung in churches at Easter (and maybe on through Pentecost), but the message of salvation through Christ rings true the whole year round. This arrangement will be a welcome addition to your repertoire.
Refrain: Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.
Come, Christians, follow where the Master trod,
our King victorious, Christ the Son of God.
O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
your death has brought us life eternally.
So shall our song of triumph ever be:
praise to the Crucified for victory!
The eight bells in the score are accompanied by piano; if you don’t happen to have an accompanist available, we also have an accompaniment MP3 available for purchase.
