Lift Aloft the Cross of Jesus (Crosby)

Lift aloft the cross of Je­sus

Hold it high and strong;

Shout the name of Him who saves us

Swell the bat­tle song.

Forward

sol­diers

bold and fear­less

Hear the call of God;

Prove your cour­age in the con­flict

Tread where brave men trod.

Lift aloft the cross of Je­sus

Hold it high and strong;

Shout the name of Him who saves us

Swell the bat­tle song.

Faith our shield and hope our hel­met

Satan’s hosts we face;

Marshaled in the might of Je­sus

Win we by His grace.

Catch the or­der of our cap­tain

Wield the Spir­it’s sword;

Onward

fear­less

press to con­quer

Slaying with His word.

They shall share the glad ho­san­na

Who on Him be­lieve;

They shall ’neath His roy­al ban­ner

Crowns of life re­ceive.
