Author: R. L. Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 4 #158 (1900) First Line: We are soldiers in the army Refrain First Line: Let us come around the banner Lyrics: 1 We are soldiers in the army,
We have heard the Captain’s call;
He has given us a banner,
Which no evil can befall,—
While the host is marching on.
Refrain:
Let us come around the banner,
The banner of the cross, that will never suffer loss;
There is victory and glory
With the banner of the cross.
2 There’s a stir among the people
When the banner is display’d;
All the friends of truth are joyful,
All its enemies dismayed,—
While the host is marching on. [Refrain]
3 So we rally round the banner,
And our ranks will still increase,
For to ev’ry soul it carries
Life and love and joy and peace, —
While the host is marching on. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 60:4 Languages: English Tune Title: [We are soldiers in the army]
