Representative Text

1 We will lift the banner high,
We will wave it to the sky,
For the King, for the King;
To the nations of the world
Let the banner be unfurled;
Gladly sing, gladly sing.

Chorus:
Wave the banner high,
Wave it to the sky,
Let it wave, let it wave;
Let it be unfurled,
Tell to all the word,
He will save, He will save.

2 Lift the banner for the right,
See it gleams with glory bright,
Ev’rywhere, ev’rywhere;
Ensign of the mighty God,
Praise Him for His precious word
And His care, and His care. [Chorus]

3 Lift the banner high for peace,
Till all earthly strife shall cease,
Thro’ the land, thro’ the land;
Bid the people now rejoice,
Who hath heard His tender voice
And command, and command. [Chorus]
