O CROSS ERECTED

O cross erected above the world,

Cross of our Saviour King (x2)

Fount from which gushed the waters,

Straight from the wound in His side,

Filling our lives with His gift of grace,

Cross of our Saviour King.

O cross, sublime and refulgent tree,

Cross of our Saviour King (x2)

Through thee Jesus has saved us,

Great was the price that He paid;

Thou art the folly of love divine,

Cross of our Saviour King.

O cross, thou channel of grace divine,

Cross of our Saviour King (x2)

Tree on which death was conquered,

Thou, the first altar of love;

Jesus the Lamb gave His life on thee,

Cross of our Saviour King.

O cross, all honour and praise to thee,

Cross of our Saviour King (x2)

Thou art the sign of victory,

Sign of redemption and life;

Homage and glory belong to thee,

Cross of our Saviour King.
