Tune: CRUCIFER
This is not a hymn I grew up singing. The first time I sang it at a Chorister’s Guild event, it burned a place deep in my memory; it is a moment I’ll never forget. “What a wonderful hymn,” I whispered to myself as the tall brass cross was carried down the aisle at some church in north Dallas where the conference was being held. Every time we hit the refrain, a new part of my faith soared: “Lift high the cross. The love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name.”
The stanzas of this hymn are very brief. Today’s hymnline is an entire stanza… usually printed as the last. It sums up the gist of the entire hymn: Therefore, our everlasting song of praise will be to the One who was crucified – whose victory over death and the grave allowed us to triumph as well. HIS victory has given US a song of triumph.
So sing it, sister!
