1. Keep the vision of the cross before you,
Lest you wander from the straight and narrow way;
Think of what the Shepherd suffered to restore you,
How He brought you from the darkness to the day.
Chorus:
Keep the vision of the cross, of the Savior’s cross (blessed Savior’s cross),
Whether life bring to you gain or loss (life on earth bring to you gain or loss):
Till His glory is in view and a crown is given you,
Keep the vision, keep the vision of the cross.
2. Keep the vision of the cross before you,
When you bow beneath a heavy load of care;
For the banner of His love is floating o’er you;
He who died for you will answer all your prayer.
3. Keep the vision of the cross before you,
When the call for loyal service you shall hear;
Since the loving Lord is working with and for you,
Haste to do His blessed will without a fear.
