3 Not in vain for us uplifted,
Man of sorrows, wonder-gifted!
May that sacred emblem be;
4 Lifted high amid the ages,
Guide of heroes, saints, and sages,
May it guide us still to thee!
5 Still to thee! whose love unbounded
Sorrow’s depths for us has sounded,
Perfected by conflicts sore.
6 Honored be thy cross forever;
