Sung by the Plymouth Choir and Congregation of First Plymouth Church, Lincoln Nebraska, on March 5, 2017. Tom Trenney, organist.

I love the Organist. He plays so divinely. Registrations are perfect.

[@joshwalker171]

if you are lost then give your life to jesus and believe in the name of jesus and tell your pastor or preacher and the bible says that if you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth then you shall be saved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jesus is the only way to heaven and god loves you so much and so do i

[@josephchoi2991]

Amazing singing church. Nice when you have nice pipe organ and make congregation to sing praises to the Lord.

[@johnwduke660]

I agree about lifting the Cross, short or long poled, high. The Cross itself should be higher than anyone’s head so that a person has to look up at it.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

i MUST ADMIT Mr. Trenney is a excellent OUTSTANDING Organist, and the Lied PIPE Organ is huge and beautiful, the sound of these majestic pipe are superb.

Excellent organist work!!!

Organist -❤superb! Love his playing I wish I had his arrangement, and registration.

[@paulconnors2078]

What a beautiful tribute to our Lord and Savior.

[@tombradburn3935]

I don’t think it was in the hymnal of the churches I worshipped at. Then around 15 years ago on Easter Sunday in my Lutheran Church we sang it and i immediately fell in love with its majesty and triumph.

[@stevecarrington9729]

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name. Come, Christians, follow where our Saviour trod, our Lamb victorious, Christ, the Son of God. Refrain: Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name. All newborn servants of the Crucified bear on their brow the seal of Christ who died. Refrain: O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree, your death has brought us life eternally. Refrain: So shall our song of triumph ever be: praise to the Crucified for victory. Refrain:

My mother's favorite hymn. I miss her so much.

[@katrinas2752]

Was your mom by chance a member of the Order of the Daughters of the King? That is our official anthem.

[@frostwitch7234]

She was a Lutheran. She didn't belong to any order. She just simply believed in God and his mercy. That's the deal with us Lutherans. We're a stubborn pain in the ass. But our love for God, Christ and his holy host will not be denied. We just have no patience for your damned cults. There's no need for them. Disband and realize we all worship the same God.

Here is a verse if anyone wants it: Ephesians 4:29 Jesus loves you all :)

Amazing song, amazing organ, amazing singing. Thank You!!!

[@estershome]

“O Christ lifted high, O Love crucified, fill our hearts with your love, that we may see in your Cross the sign of our redemption. Lord Jesus Christ, who accept the Cross at the hands of men to make of it the sign of God’s saving love for humanity, grant us and all the men and women of our time the grace of faith in this infinite love.”

The organist, Tom Trenny, is so badass with all his improvs in the last verse.

[@truthunfolded1300]

The cross is a symbol of discomfort, pain, and grief and it is difficult to carry, but we must all carry our own➕

[@drydenbelle]

True. But it is also a symbol of the Resurrection and Christ's triumph over death.

[@tombradburn3935]

I think you are missing the theme of the lyrics.

[@truthunfolded1300]

@@tombradburn3935 my comment is based on scripture not the theme of the lyrics

[@tombradburn3935]

No. Jesus Christ did it for us. That is the Gospel message and the theme of Holy Week and the theme of this hymn. Nothing about us carrying our own cross.

Tell the crucifer to lift that cross higher! ;-)

[@MadgedeBellwether]

I agree, however the processional cross used has a shortened base pole so it is not possible to lift it up. As a side noteI get really annoyed when a crucifer could lift the cross higher and doesn't.

[@robmiddleton01]

What denomination is this? Looks like an Anglican church of England bash.. Is it Episcopalian?

[@amyb2646]

We sang it in the Catholic Church on Holy Thursday. Don’t know what denomination this is though.

[@daveenglert2791]

Congregational UCC

[@tombradburn3935]

Why bash..? Welcome to the reality that there is faith in Christ in churches that aren’t your narrow statement of faith.

[@joshuamiller-le753]

UCC

[@uccsteve3187]

Congregational, United Church of Christ...or just UCC.

Lyrics changed in order to squeeze in a little politically correct Christological heresy, of course.

Beautiful. For more hymns like this, and more, live each Sunday : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbdq4KKmKmEZ6s

[@paulcook5883]

What a large church . Is there not even one man among them both able and willing to provide leadership?

[@charlescreegan6164]

The ones that hired the woman provided great leadership! FWIW if you investigated you'd find the senior pastor is male.

[@tombradburn3935]

Looks like you missed the forest for your one tree. In your judging you missed the greater blessing.
