Keep the Banner Flying

Verse 1

Keep the banner flying, This our cry shall be, Many souls are dying, Jesus must they see; Under condemnation, Life will soon be gone; Only is salvation In the Sinless One.

Chorus

Shout, shout the battle cry, Girt with endeavor; Lift, lift the banner high, Now and forever. Shout, shout the battle cry, Girt with endeavor; Lift, lift the banner high, Now and forever.

Verse 2

Keep the banner flying; When the faithful fall, Give not up to sighing, Christ is all in all; Rally all our forces, See, the Captain's near; Trust to his resources, There is naught to fear.

Verse 3

Keep the banner flying; Christians should agree, With each other vying, Yet in harmony; Working still for Jesus, Righting human wrong, Till the angels greet us With their welcome song.

Verse 4

Keep the banner flying, Over land and sea; By our self-denying Comes the victory; Brighten toil with singing, Better days will come; To the Saviour clinging, We shall rest at home.
