Refrain: Take up the flag Take up the flag, Vict’ry thro’ Jesus o’er error and wrong! Vict’ry thro’ Jesus! Keep step to the song; Take up the flag bravely, Take up the flag. 2 Honor and glory and rest by and by, Now help in bringing complete vict’ry nigh; Joy of the victor, Christ shares with His own, Joy that abides ‘round the Conqueror’s throne. [Refrain] 3 Take up the flag, the Redeemer shall reign; Death’s mighty bars were not broken in vain; Haste to the place He appoints thee to stand; Raise high the flag, He will strengthen thy hand. [Refrain] 4 Close to the cross let the flag ever wave, Beckoning all to the mighty to save; Soon will the conflict and watching be o’er; Palms for the flag we will bear evermore.
