Six-verse version from Lutheran Hymnal #837.

[Refrain]
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore His sacred name.

[Verse 1]
Come, Christians, follow where our Captain trod,
Our king victorious, Christ, the Son of God.

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
All newborn soldiers of the Crucified
Bear on their brows the seal of Him Who died.

[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
As Thou hast promised, draw us all to Thee.

[Refrain]

[Verse 5]
Let ev'ry race and ev'ry language tell
Of Him who saves our lives from death and hell.

[Refrain]

[Verse 6]
So shall our song of triumph ever be:
Praise to the Crucified for victory!

[Refrain]
