Representative Text

1 Christ’s royal banner over us is love,
Sing praise, sing praise,
We follow, follow where it floats above,
Our guide thru all our days.

Refrain:
We will follow it ever,
Christ’s banner of love,
Follow ever, falter never;
See where it floats above.
We will follow it ever,
Christ’s banner of love,
Follow ever, falter never;
Where it floats above.

2 O royal banner ever floating there,
On high, on high,
One hope so sweet, so wonderful, you bear,
For all beneath the sky. [Refrain]

3 O royal banner shining in the light,
Wave on, wave on;
And lead us up to heaven’s holy height,
Where Christ, our Lord, has gone. [Refrain]
