Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#204

204. Now be the Gospel Banner

1 Now be the gospel banner
In every land unfurled;
And be the shout--Hosanna!
Re-echoed through the world;
Till every isle and nation,
Till every tribe and tongue,
Receive the great salvation,
And join the happy throng.

2 Yes, Thou shalt reign forever,
O Jesus, King of kings!
Thy light, Thy love, Thy favor,
Each ransomed captive sings;
The isles for Thee are waiting,
The deserts learn Thy praise;
The hills and valley's greeting,
The song responsive raise.

Amen.
