[VERSE 1]
The wall of dispute — The flower
Where it had caved in
Mankind by the Lord
Had been forgiven
Son of the Father
Was elevated
The leader of death
Where he had fallen

[REFRAIN]
Let's sing with joyful sound
For the cross has been found

[VERSE 2]
The kind Cyriacus — The flower
And guiding scholar
He led Helena
With the bonfire
The Lord crucified
On the Holy Cross
We saw the smoke bow
To what had been lost

[REFRAIN]
Let's sing with joyful sound
For the cross has been found

[VERSE 3]
Out of jealousy — The flower
They buried the Cross
Even thrown away
As if it was dross*
Since you can't oppose
Our Lord's power
Holy Crucifix
Is now uncovered

[REFRAIN]
Let's sing with joyful sound
For the cross has been found

[VERSE 4]
We take immense pride — The flower
In the Holy Cross
With the Lord's wisdom
We are never lost
To those of the world
It may seem naive
But it is our strength
We'll always believe

[REFRAIN]
Let's sing with joyful sound
For the cross has been found

[VERSE 5]
The sign of our faith
The Cross is truly
The land filled with trash
Is plain presently
From the word of God
Just as we have heard
The Cross from the pit
Has been recovered

[REFRAIN]
Let's sing with joyful sound
For the cross has been found
