The King of Kings ‎#68

68. Lift the Gleaming Banner

1 Lift the gleaming banner,
Wave it high unfurled,
Flag of glorious freedom,
Hope of all the world:
Where the Captain leads you
Go without dismay,
Gladly pressing forward
To the strife away.

Refrain:
Lift up His banner till the conflict’s o’er;
Bear it rejoicing to each distant shore;
Sing, sing for gladness, Satan’s host must fall,
Jesus our Saviour shall be Lord of all.

2 IN the strength of Jesus
Daily march along,
Happy voices blending
In a joyful song:
Trusting in His promise,
Not a foe we fear;
Raise the royal banner
Full of light and cheer. [Refrain]

3 ‘Neath its folds of beauty
Bravely take your stand;
Tho’ the road be rugged,
Follow His command:
Soon the day of triumph
Bright above shall glow;
Soon the world’s dominions
Christ the King shall know. [Refrain]
