Hail the Sign, The Sign of Jesus Lyrics

Hail the Sign, the Sign of Jesus
Bright and royal Tree!
Standard of the Monarch, planted
First on Calvary!

Hail the Sign all signs excelling
Hail the Sign all ills dispelling
Hail the Sign hell's power quelling
Cross of Christ, all hail!
Hail the Sign all signs excelling
Hail the Sign all ills dispelling
Hail the Sign hell's power quelling
Cross of Christ, all hail!

Sign the martyrs' strength and refuge
Sign to saints so dear!
sign of evil men abhorred
Sign which devils fear

Sign which, when the Lord returneth
In the heavens shall be
Sinners quail, while saints with rapture
Shall the vision see

Lo, I sign the cross of Jesus
Meekly on my breast
May it guard my heart when living
Dying be its rest
Lo, I sign the cross of Jesus
Meekly on my breast
May it guard my heart when living
Dying be its rest

In the name of God the Father
Name of God the Son
Name of God the blessed Spirit
Ever Three in One

Hail the Sign all signs excelling
Hail the Sign all ills dispelling
Hail the Sign hell's power quelling
Cross of Christ, all hail!

In the name of God the Father
Name of God the Son
Name of God the blessed Spirit
Ever Three in One
