CROSS OF CHRIST! LEAD ONWARD
1. Cross of Christ!
lead onward,
Thro' the Holy War;
In this sign we
conquer,
Now and evermore.
Not of man the
power,
Not to man the
fame;
We are victors only
In our leader's
name.
Refrain
Cross of Christ!
lead onward,
Thro' the Holy War;
In this sign we
conquer,
Now and evermore.
2. Not with pomp
and pageant,
Not in earthly
pride;
We must fight our
battles
Like the Crucified.
Overcome by
suff'ring,
Conquer thro'
defeat;
Tried and tested daily
In the furnace
heat.
3. Panoplied in
graces,
Bold, yet humbly
meek;
Resting while we're
working,
Strong, but ever
weak.
Timid, tho'
courageous,
Gaining as we give;
Crucified with
Jesus.
Yet in Him, we
live.
4. Marching in the
pathway
That the Master
trod,
Walks One daily
with us
Like the Son of
God.
To the end
enduring,
Armour ne'er laid
down
Till the Cross
leads upward
To the blood-bought
crown.
