By the sign of the cross we defeat our enemies

By the sign of the cross we create new order

Angels and humans gather around the mighty Lord

Who suffered death to cleanse his breed

Per signum crucis

By the sign of the cross we give thanks to the Lord for its Spirit

By the sign of the cross we gather as one in Christ

To know pain is not to feel it

But to know our sin is to fight against it

By the saving sign of Christ

The mighty cross!
