Banner of the Cross

Verse 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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
