DAUGHTERS OF THE HOLY CROSS
WHO WE ARE
We are women who have committed our lives to the work and service of our Lord Jesus Christ. We pray daily for our Church, its clergy, the Order and others in need. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and equipped with the powerful Sword of Truth as contained in the Holy Bible, we reach out to those who do not know Jesus to share his message of salvation through word and deed. We wear the cross as a symbol of Jesus’ sacrifice and our need for him to be Lord of our lives. In community with our sisters, we are strengthened and encouraged to keep our fourfold Vow of Prayer, Service, Study and Evangelism

SONG OF THE ORDER
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev'ry sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the pow'r of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No pow'r of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand
