Banner of the Cross
G
There's a royal banner given for display
D7 G
To the soldiers of the King;
As an ensign fair we lift it up today,
D A7 D
While as ransomed ones we sing.
CHORUS:
D7 G
Marching on, marching on,
C G D
For Christ count everything but loss!
G C
And to crown Him King, toil and sing
G D7 G
'Neath the banner of the cross!
Though the foe may rage and gather as the flood,
Let the standard be displayed;
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord,
For the truth be not dismayed.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell,
Make the glorious tidings known;
Of the crimson banner now the story tell,
While the Lord shall claim His own!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
When the glory dawns- 'tis drawing very near-
It is hastening day by day;
Then before our King the foe shall disappear,
And the cross the world shall sway!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
