Hail the Sign, the Sign of Jesus

Hail the Sign

the Sign of Je­sus

Bright and roy­al Tree!

Standard of the Mon­arch

plant­ed

First on Cal­va­ry!

Hail the Sign all signs ex­cel­ling

Hail the Sign all ills dis­pel­ling

Hail the Sign hell’s pow­er quell­ing

Cross of Christ

all hail!

Sign the mar­tyrs’ strength and re­fuge

Sign to saints so dear!

Sign of ev­il men ab­hor­rèd

Sign which de­vils fear:

Sign which

when the Lord re­turn­eth

In the heave­ns shall be;

Sinners quail

while saints with rap­ture

Shall the vi­sion see:

Lo

I sign the cross of Je­sus

Meekly on my breast;

May it guard my heart when liv­ing

Dying be its rest:

In the name of God the Fa­ther

Name of God the Son

Name of God the bless­èd Spir­it

Ever Three in One:
