Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #146 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The royal banner is unfurled Lyrics: 1 The royal banner is unfurled,
The cross is reared on high,
On which the Saviour of the world
Is stretched in agony.
2 See! through His holy hands and feet
The cruel nails they drive:
Our ransom thus is made complete,
Our souls are saved alive.
3 And see! the spear that pierced His side,
And shed that sacred flood,
That holy reconciling tide,
The water and the blood.
4 Hail, holy cross! from thee we learn
The only way to heaven:
And O, to Thee may sinners turn,
And look, and be forgiven!
5 Jehovah, we Thy name adore
In Thee we will rejoice,
And sing, till time shall be no more
The triumphs of the cross.
AMEN.
