The Sign of the Cross

The sign of the cross I tri­umph­ant­ly bear

Though none of my kind­red that em­blem may wear.

I joy­ful­ly fol­low the cham­pi­ons of right

Who march on to glo­ry

who march on to glo­ry

Who march on to glo­ry with wea­pons of might.

The Pil­lar that guides us through per­il and strife

The Rock that is cleft

giv­ing waters of life

Is Christ and His cross. By His Spir­it and Word

The heart He re­fresh­es

the heart He re­fresh­es

The heart He re­fresh­es

our Sav­ior and Lord.

O Shep­herd

abide with us

care for us still

And feed us and lead us

and teach us Thy will

And when in Thy heav­en­ly fold we shall be

Our thanks and our prais­es

our thanks and our prais­es

Our thanks and our prais­es we’ll ren­der to Thee.
