Cross of Christ! lead onward, Through the holy war; In this sign we conquer Now and evermore. Not of man the power, Not to man the fame; We are victors only In our Leader’s name. |
| Cross of Christ! lead onward, Through the holy war; In this sign we conquer Now and evermore. |

Not with pomp and pageant, Not in earthly pride; We must fight our battles Like the Crucified. Overcome by suff’ring, Conquer through defeat; Tried and tested daily In the furnace heat. |

Kind, yet we are fighting, Bold, yet humbly meek; Resting while we’re working, Strong, but ever weak. Timid, though courageous, Gaining as we give; Crucified with Jesus, Yet, in Him, we live. |

By a cloud encompassed, Witnesses to prove, Saints, apostles, prophets, Precious ones we love; While “advance!” is sounding, Mounts the battle thrill. Cross of Christ! lead onward Where the Captain will. |

Marching in the pathway That the Master trod, Walks One daily with us Like the Son of God. To the end enduring, Armor ne’er laid down, Till the Cross leads upward To the blood-bought crown. |

The second aspect of the new way concerns our work. We must labor diligently. We should not live a life of ease. Stanza 3 of Hymns, #634 says, "Resting while we're working," Our work is our rest. If I am asked not to work, I will have no rest. Sometimes my doctor is worried about my high blood pressure and asks me not to work. I know my condition. The more I work for the Lord, the better my condition is. I once held a conference with ten meetings in two and a half days. After the conference I was physically tired, but when Sister Lee measured my blood pressure, it was normal.
