Keep the Banner Unfurled

John Hill Luther • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 20:5

Verse 1

Our country for Jesus, The land of the free, From ocean to ocean, From mountain to sea; The Lord is our Captain, His word is out guide; We’re only to follow, Whate’er may betide.

Chorus

Keep the banner unfurled, And the vict’ry loud sing, Thus to conquer the world For Jesus, our King.

Verse 2

Our country for Jesus, The light of the world; Our triumph is certain, With banner unfurled; For truth is victorious O’er error and race; While love sings melodious The song of the free.

Chorus

Keep the banner unfurled, And the vict’ry loud sing, Thus to conquer the world For Jesus, our King.

Verse 3

The children are calling, Are calling for light, While thousands are praying And toiling with might. Then let us be faithful, The harvest is white; The Bridegroom is coming, Our lamps should be bright.

Chorus

Keep the banner unfurled, And the vict’ry loud sing, Thus to conquer the world For Jesus, our King.
