Daniele Colla - Inno alla Croce - текст песни (слова)

Have no fear be sturdy of heart
 For with you is the Cross
 As a sign for the risen Lord
 A mighty sign, defender of humble ones
 Those who are proud the Cross will scatter
 It is the victory of Christ the Lord
 And the death of Satan's power
 And the ruin of those who deceive.
 The Cross offers life to the just 
 And fulfillment of all virtues
 The Cross is the hope of Christians
 The resurrection of the dead.
 To the poor it is consolation
 Life eternal the strength of almighty God.
 Have no fear be sturdy of heart
 By the Cross has the Church 
 gained the heroes of our religion
 always sustaining and blessing them 
 with strength guidance and claiming them
 it raised them o'er the worldly flesh
 with the blood the Savior shed upon it
 It calls us the holy desire 
 To emulate the martyrdom of Jesus Christ.
 
 When you are afflicted, when you are discouraged,
 When you're disillusioned
 Hold to your hearts this Cross 
 I have given into your care
 And with your mind and soul
 Given up in sweet abandon 
 Into God's own hands 
 and your eyes raised to the highest heaven:
 Repeat with me: 
 “May the cross my life overshadow nothing
 O Jesus, outside his glory”.
 For there will your heart open wider
 To humankind and your soul will behold 
 The gentleness which is in all Christian
 Hope and your works in this life
 Will be precious in the eyes 
 Of the almighty God;
