March On! O Banner of Jesus
William Cushing • English
Primary Scripture: Isaiah 13:2
Verse 1
O banner of Jesus, in triumph advancing Thy folds in the sunlight of beauty unfurled; From the hillsides afar to the isles of the ocean, Thy glory shall float till it conquers the world.
Chorus
O Banner of Jesus, thou glory-crowned Banner, Thou emblem of hope o’er the nations unfurled; March on in triumph, March on in beauty, Till Jesus, till Jesus has conquered the world; March on in triumph, March on in beauty, Till Jesus, till Jesus has conquered the world.
Verse 2
O say, can you see where the ranks are now marching? With banners of beauty like conquerors they come; They have fought the good fight, and in peace are returning, The ransomed of Zion; o welcome them home!
Chorus
O Banner of Jesus, thou glory-crowned Banner, Thou emblem of hope o’er the nations unfurled; March on in triumph, March on in beauty, Till Jesus, till Jesus has conquered the world; March on in triumph, March on in beauty, Till Jesus, till Jesus has conquered the world.
Verse 3
Behold where they stand on the green hills immortal, Their weapons unheeded, they rest on the shore; There with heroes and martyrs in glory reposing, Their warfare is ended, they weary no more.
Chorus
O Banner of Jesus, thou glory-crowned Banner, Thou emblem of hope o’er the nations unfurled; March on in triumph, March on in beauty, Till Jesus, till Jesus has conquered the world; March on in triumph, March on in beauty, Till Jesus, till Jesus has conquered the world.
