Love this! Everybody Holy Thursday my beloved Dad and I went to Mass and the priests would walk through the Church holding up the Cross, we would sing this song at the tops of our lungs! Can’t wait to sing it again In Heaven! Love You Jesus, Dad, and Mom! ✝️🙏🏻🕊❤️
Me too...along with (especially) "The Church's One Foundation". I think that these tears don't originate in our minds, but in our hearts. All Glory To God. 🌹
Beautiful arrangement with choir and orchestra. This is a major feast in many Christian denominations! Let us keep our eyes on Christ; never mind others who seek other means of living. WE ARE CALLED TO FOLLOW CHRIST-love God and love our neighbor- no matter what!! LIFT HIGH THE CROSS for ALL to see !!
Ooh, how wonderful to hear that majestic choir singing this touching reveille, calling the entire Church Triumphant to rise up and join the harmony. Thank you! We can only imagine a glimpse of that glorious day ahead.
This was the entrance hymn at my first Mass after ordination to the priesthood in 2007 as . I've indicated it is to be the entrance hymn at my funeral as well.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (June 29, St. Peter and St. Paul, Apostles), we sang this as our Closing Hymn. It is #660 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
Like all old agnostics, I question my lack of faith when I hear the most moving hymns. This is one of them and I remember, as a former chorister, being unable to sing it through my tears during a Good Friday service.
I am a very, very poor excuse for a Christian and a long lapsed Episcopalian, but when I hear hymns such as this one, I always choke up and remember that Christ died for me and all humankind. How can I doubt that magnanimity of Love and the grace He gave us all? I cannot and at the hour of my death, I hope and pray that He continues to bestow that forgiveness on me, unworthy as I am. Lift High the Cross, INDEED!
The principle at my high school just passed away and this was his favorite hymn. We sang this at the funeral as his casket was carried out, definitely a great hymn. RIP George Repass. We'll miss you
official_gamer my condolences, and I know how this feels. I had to acolyte for my grandmother ‘s memorial service, this was her favorite hymn . It made it all the more difficult, and painful . She passed away in 89 , I was only 16 . It’s still hard around the Holliday’s, she passed away the weekend following Thanksgiving.
@@MichaelCapleone.SR.ESQ. This song fucks me off, because it makes me angry, & I will mention that you are right to mention remember everything is for and about God, therefor I have my focus on insulting, offending, and hating God! Yes this song makes think about telling him to kiss my ass!
It's very fitting that it's the Irish cross that's featured in this video. After the Roman Empire collapsed it was the Irish monks who made copies of the Gospels and founded monasteries across Europe. In doing so they spread the Word of God and saved civilization.
This was My Dads Favourite Hymn ...He used to get so excited when this used to be announced .....Very Rarely though....And He sat down Wrote the lyrics and used to sing at home often.....Now he Rests in Gods memory and We Rest in Christ and His Promise of Resurrection and Hope to live in Gods Kingdom forever ...Beautiful God Beautiful Hymn Beautifully Sung ...Nostalgia Remembrances all coming back today ..On All Souls Day
Praise be to the Lord God of Israel and his Son Jesus the Christ, that gave all for us. I say this.... *"God doesn't owe us anything, but he gave us everything." *Quote from: Michael Capleone.
As I walk to work every morning, I listen to this song from my iphone and the next one I listen to is: We Gather Together As One. Jesus is always there for us. 24/7 and our protector.
We've been blessed with so many truly great anthems for the church! But until you've sung THIS one - the Hymn Triumphant! - with a truly powerful pipe organ - backing up fifty or so well-chosen singers - a brace of instrumentalists - throw in a good congregation for filler... you simply don't know what the vocal worship of the Son of God IS! The morning before performance, I have to drop 10 mg of Escitalopram. Without THAT, I'd NEVER get through this magnificent paean to the deity. Breaks me down every time.
@@Bigbassdrum60 Hi, Ted. I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Just to be clear, I wasn't saying that only modern Baptist hymnals tend to exclude it. Rather it has become fairly difficult to find in most hymnals of any type today.
eternalhalloween1 - Yes, it sure was - and then we used it 2 weeks later when we had an institution ceremony for our new Daughters of the King Chapter. Love it!
Laura Bowman Hi Laura. Like many other liturgists, I finished Palm Sunday with it this year. It's a good hymn for the end of that mass, because it gives people hope after they have heard the intense sorrow of the Passion. It's one of those interesting hymns that can be used not only on Palm Sunday but for some of the Easter weeks. Funny side note. All the liturgists I know began Palm Sunday with a different hymn. However, we all ended it with 'Lift High the Cross.'
+John Birkhead I suppose you could use it on Easter Sunday. But as a liturgist, I have found that people usually prefer to hear "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today " On Easter Sunday as an opening hymn. But I certainly have used "Lift High the Cross" during the 6 weeks of Easter (as well as the last hymn on Palm Sunday). ,
I prayed for you, Jackson, when I read your comment this morning -- that God would draw near to your side and comfort you. (My son's name is Jackson as well.)
I love this hymn. I don't like that this particular version changed "conquering ranks" to "unity" and "Christian soldier" to "servant". Never forget we are in a daily spiritual battle
The Gospel:"...Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" 1 Cor.15:3,4
"The hosts of God" in the verse, Come Christians follow this triumphant sign, was originally ," the hosts of God in conquering ranks combine". I don't know why that was changed in this song. Still a beautiful hymn nevertheless
@@kcbbqmaker I believe that lyric editing, if done at all, should be evaluated considering the date and times of the original, and whether the suggested edition honors the Christ with appropriate eloquence. I don't see how the arrangement in question could be enhanced. I thank God for His accepting our offerings.
Such a Catholic (or Anglican) song “each newborn servant of the Crucified Bears on the brow The seal of Him who died.” The “seal of him who died” upon the brow AKA the Sign of the Cross. Further, it suggests the Rite of Baptism, one in which the sign of the cross is made upon the foreheads of the baptized. Baptism is the sacrament in which the children of Adam are born again as children of God, hence “newborn servant.”

@crimson bullets Yes you heard me.
This is 100% my favorite hymn, but for some reason it makes me cry like a baby.
Me, too!
Yes, they sang it at Mass this morning, and I came here to listen again ! I’m not crying , you are !
Me too! So powerful....creates a longing within me!!!
The best hymns always bring me to tears. I always tell myself that the tears are out of awe in the beauty of our Lord.
Me too...along with (especially) "The Church's One Foundation". I think that these tears don't originate in our minds, but in our hearts. All Glory To God. 🌹

LIFT HIGH THE CROSS for ALL to see !!
Amen Amen.
My grandpa died 12/23/18 and we played this in the beginning of his service. He was a Lutheran minister and a therapist.
A deacon passed away that was a close friend and we did the same!
And he's in Glory Now. Rest on that promise we as Christians all live and die for. Jesus said to be absent from the body is to be with me.
This is my first time hearing this song. I'm a fairly young guy who is finding himself in Christ. This is a beautiful classic Christian song.
Beautiful Hymn for today's holy day The Exaltation of the Cross ✝️
This os my favorite hymn that our Mass opens with on Easter Morning. He has Risen, God be praised!
Lift it ☝... Lift up the blessed CROSS! Lift me up Lord Jesus!
I am proud of this song, and it makes God happy. I know that for a fact.
Ooh, how wonderful to hear that majestic choir singing this touching reveille, calling the entire Church Triumphant to rise up and join the harmony. Thank you! We can only imagine a glimpse of that glorious day ahead.
Praise God. Lift up the Cross of Jesus. Hallelujah Amen.
Yes sir

Great hymn! 🎶🎵
May the Lord bless us all, everyone! Amen!
This was the entrance hymn at my first Mass after ordination to the priesthood in 2007 as . I've indicated it is to be the entrance hymn at my funeral as well.
We sing this at church sometimes and it’s just soo beautiful and brings tears to my eyes.
the cross will and SHOULD B lifted higher than the flag. Christ lives forever!
Yes, for sure. The reason so many are suffering in this country is because Christian often put their patriotism ahead of their faith.
Jesus Christ fucks me off in the name of George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln!

My mother passed away on Mover 21 2016. This was her favorite hymn. It gives me comfort, knowing she's in God's hands.
Whisper Darkling sorry for your loss. You're in my prayers.
I'm sorry about your mom. I'll pray for you and your family. 🙏 🙁
Whisper Darkling What's Mover 21??
Wow, I understand, my father passed away at 0230 Sat morning after Good Friday, 2016. I know he is with God now.
Like all old agnostics, I question my lack of faith when I hear the most moving hymns. This is one of them and I remember, as a former chorister, being unable to sing it through my tears during a Good Friday service.
May the Lord of that lifted cross draw you back unto Himself. Sincerest and warm wishes.
I can't get through Beautiful Savior.

Beautiful and moving rendition of this spectacular hymn!
"When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself." -John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

this was the processional hymn for my father's ordination 19 yrs ago. complete with bagpipes. he sadly passed away last august.

that's sad that he died
Very sad..., but remember everything is for and about God in this life and after... He is shaping and conditioning us to be more like him everyday...

My wife loves this version of Lift Up The Cross. She listens to it every morning. Thank you
John McNee thanks. This is my fav hymn. It takes me back to serving as an Acolyte/Altar Boy as a youth. I would lift the Cross as high as a I could.
A fabulous, rousing hymn sung with gusto!
My Grandma’s favorite and it was played at her funeral service. My favorite as well

Stay Blessed Dear one in Christ .
It gets em going everytime.
Usually played on Good Friday, could played every week as for me! One of the best hymns!
Ron Malachowski
Agreed! Although for our church they also play this for The Feast of The Holy Cross.
This song was almost always sung Easter morning as a processional song in my church!
At my church we actually played this every week when the Mass was ending and the cross was being carried down the hall.
This hymn give me great joy.
God lifts up the humble, but brings down the haughty-----We are disciples of Christ♡
We played this song at my great aunts funeral on New Year’s Eve I still can’t believe she is gone I miss her
She is onto glory like my wife who died Oct 1st of 2022. I know she is there as I know your aunt is as well.
Praise be to the Lord God of Israel and his Son Jesus the Christ, that gave all for us. I say this.... *"God doesn't owe us anything, but he gave us everything." *Quote from: Michael Capleone.
Our organist does it on Holy Thursday.And then he makes the organ go silent until Easter Vigil.
We ended Mass at Sts. Peter and Paul in Mount Vernon, NY with this hymn this morning. I like it as much as "Jerusalem".
I love this song first heard it at church during mass
I remember singing this in childrens choir when I was a child at my elementary school. What a beautiful song!
I Love Jesus Sadly nowadays this song would be “offensive” to the public. May lord save us
Haven't heard this in years, absolutely one of my favorite hymns!!!

Hardest life I’ve ever see a prophet have to live but we are living. Thriving. 😊
Lift high the cross ❤❤✝️amen 🙏
I always loved this great hymn, whether participaing in the service or worshipping.
My class and I are singing this song at church for mass in school! I came to practice it
We've been blessed with so many truly great anthems for the church!

Such an amazing hymn
Have loved this song since my Baptist upbringing. For some reason it is left out of many hymnals. Glad I didn't miss it!
I believe the reason is that this is truly an Anglican Hymn and some Southern Baptists still hold this as the Kings Hymn.
@@Bigbassdrum60 Hi, Ted. I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Just to be clear, I wasn't saying that only modern Baptist hymnals tend to exclude it. Rather it has become fairly difficult to find in most hymnals of any type today.
Beautiful song!
I searched this song AND was like "John Birkhead?! I know that guy!"
Also, there's a ton of views on this sucker! All the best, John!
So beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!
I can't hear this hymn enough, one of my very favorites !!!
You might check your settings. It has substantial audio on all 3 of my devices.
I was referring to how much I love the hymn by I can't hear it enough
that makes much more sense. I should not read comments at bedtime!
Thats O.K. we all do this, Thanks for sharing this hymn
@@kcbbqmaker Could you remove George Arnold's comment above, please? Thank you.
The best closing hymn
This is a great hymn to end a Confirmation Mass or Service!!
You are correct
This is now my favorite hymn! Thank you for sharing this; it is just beautiful.
What a wonderful version - Gave me goosebumps!!!
Hi Laura. It's a good song to finish the Palm Sunday Mass with.

This was the closing hymn at Mass tonight. Absolutely amazing.
This hymn always reminded me of a national anthem
The perfect song to end Palm Sunday with. Although "Ride On In Majesty" is also a legitimate option.
+eternalhalloween1 I like it for an opening hymn on Easter Morning with trumpets, pipe organ, and all sorts of sopranos for the descant at the end.

Yea. It can be the recessional hymn as well.
Help me Jesus. I’m feeling defeated and all alone in my infirmity.
I prayed for you, Jackson, when I read your comment this morning -- that God would draw near to your side and comfort you. (My son's name is Jackson as well.)
Thank you! He heard your prayer. He’s going to walk me through this. God bless you!
The schools of nobodys! Till all the world adores Him alone. 😇🖤🤏
I love this hymn. I don't like that this particular version changed "conquering ranks" to "unity" and "Christian soldier" to "servant".
Never forget we are in a daily spiritual battle
This is a nice song! I want this song played at wedding and funeral or who knows when.
That is the gentle movement of the Holy Spirt
At the end of our time make sure to bow and ask Jesus to save you and the dark vortex ends. That is the valley of the shadow of death you know.
This always reminds me of the Chrism Mass in Portland, OR
As a Knight of Columbus in the Fourth Degree, this is my favorite hymn to process into mass with when wearing regalia.
Scott C I'm a 3rd degree brother
I'm a Lutheran. But this is still a favorite. As a Christian, love and respect, brother. May the light of God shine on you :)
I’m a Lutheran. But hey it’s a beautiful piece of of sacred music.. God Bless you
@@makeupboss9812 im a lutheran as well baptised and raised. my boyfriend turned me onto this and it gave me goosebumps, love it my brother!

Great hymn to sing at ordinations and installations of Ministers
Lift them high.
I'd want this sung at my funeral or at my wedding (if so), whichever is the soonest.
Hopefully your wedding comes first brother! Haha it's been 2 years. Has she found you yet?
Great hymn.
A triumphant end of this song. As our own end shall be. As shall be the end of every spiritual conquest.
BEAUTIFUL
This was John Cardinal O'Connor's favorite hymn. It was sung during the recessional at his funeral.
When you sing a church hymn, "you pray twice!"
Me too ! I named my prison ministry after it.
It sounds so British. This hymn is often sung in the UK.
That’s a great song good job🎉❤😊

12 verses in this hymn, but not all are always sung.

"The hosts of God" in the verse, Come Christians follow this triumphant sign, was originally ," the hosts of God in conquering ranks combine". I don't know why that was changed in this song. Still a beautiful hymn nevertheless
outdoor exploration over the years different denominations have “edited” this and other hymns to align with their doctrinal nuances.

This hymn sounds like the Bird Person song from Nausicaa
Please may I use this video in my online service for the TDSS Methodist Circuit. Thank you Deborah
Such a Catholic (or Anglican) song
“each newborn servant

Further, it suggests the Rite of Baptism, one in which the sign of the cross is made upon the foreheads of the baptized. Baptism is the sacrament in which the children of Adam are born again as children of God, hence “newborn servant.”
Funny, I know it because of my Baptist church background. :) Glad it is appreciated by many!
Please let me know… the composer of this song? Thanks and God bless…
❤😢😅😅😊😊
I don't hear the descant Soprano line. I sang this with my HS choir and a small group of 1st Sopranos were selected to do the descant line.
Chad Guindon sorry but I can not resist the obvious pun... maybe you descant hear it.
