O mighty cross,
Love lifted high
The Lord of life
raised there to die;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross
a tree of life to me.

O mighty cross,
what throne of grace.
He knew no sin,
yet took my place;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross
a tree of life to me.

O mighty cross,
O Christ so pure.
Love held Him there,
such shame endured;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross
a tree of life to me.

O mighty cross,
my soul's release,
The stripes He bore,
have brought me peace;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross
a tree of life to me.
