LyicsYe saints, your music bring,
Attuned to sweetest sound,
Strike every trembling string,
Till earth and heaven resound;
The triumphs of the cross we sing;
Awake, ye saints, each joyful string.
The cross, the cross alone,
Subdued the powers of hell;
Like light'ning from his throne
The prince of darkness fell.
The triumphs of the cross we sing;
Awake, ye saints, each joyful string.
The cross hath power to save
From all the foes that rise;
The cross hath make the grave
A passage to the skies;
The triumphs of the cross we sing;
Awake, ye saints, each joyful string.
