Text: | Now Be the Gospel Banner |
Author: | Thomas Hastings |
Tune: | O, DU MITT HJÄRTAS TRÄNGTAN |
Composer: | Johan Christian Fredrick Hæffner |
1 Now be the gospel banner
In ev'ry land unfurled;
And be the shout, Hosanna!
Re-echoed through the world;
Till ev'ry isle and nation,
Till ev'ry 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 valleys, greeting,
The song responsive raise.
Amen.
