Take my hands

    Take my hands and make them as your own...
     And use them for your kingdom here on earth...
     Consecrate them to your care...
     Anoint them for your service where...
     You may need your Gospel to be sown.
     Take my hands, they speak now for my heart... 
     And by their actions they will show their love...
     Guard them on their daily course...
     Be their strength and guiding force...
     To ever serve the Trinity above.
     Take my hands, I give them to you, Lord...
     Prepare them for the service of your name.
     Open them to human need...
     And by their love they'll sow your seed...
     So all may know the love and hope you gave.
     Take my hands... Take my hands... Oh, Lord.

Lift High the Cross

https://youtu.be/GbcBXYP4AlE

Refrain:
Lift high the cross
The love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world
Adore His sacred name.


Led on their way
By this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God
In conquering ranks combine.

Each newborn servant
Of the Crucified
Bears on the brow
The seal of Him who died.

O Lord, once lifted
On the glorious tree,
As Thou hast promised
Draw the world to Thee.

So shall our song
Of triumph ever be:
Praise to the Crucified
For victory.
