¶Lyrics / Text

Have no fear be sturdy of heart For with you is the Cross As a sign for the risen Lord A mighty sign, defender of humble ones Those who are proud the Cross will scatter It is the victory of Christ the Lord And the death of Satan’s power And the ruin of those who deceive. The Cross offers life to the just And fulfillment of all virtues The Cross is the hope of Christians The resurrection of the dead. To the poor it is consolation Life eternal the strength of almighty God. Have no fear be sturdy of heart By the Cross has the Church gained the heroes of our religion always sustaining and blessing them with strength guidance and claiming them it raised them o’er the worldly flesh with the blood the Savior shed upon it It calls us the holy desire To emulate the martyrdom of Jesus Christ. When you are afflicted, when you are discouraged, When you’re disillusioned Hold to your hearts this Cross I have given into your care And with your mind and soul Given up in sweet abandon Into God’s own hands and your eyes raised to the highest heaven: Repeat with me: “May the cross my life overshadow nothing O Jesus, outside his glory”. For there will your heart open wider To humankind and your soul will behold The gentleness which is in all Christian Hope and your works in this life Will be precious in the eyes Of the almighty God;
