African Hymn, 10th century

The cross is the hope of Christians 
the cross is the resurrection of the dead
the cross is the way of the lost 
the cross is the savior of the lost 
the cross is the staff of the lame 
the cross is the guide of the blind 
the cross is the strength of the weak 
the cross is the doctor of the sick 
the cross is the aim of the priests 
the cross is the hope of the hopeless 
the cross is the freedom of the slaves 
the cross is the power of the kings 
the cross is the water of the seeds 
the cross is the consolation of the bondmen 
the cross is the source of those who seek water 
the cross is the cloth of the naked. 
We thank you, Father, for the cross.
