"THE BANNER OF THE CROSS"
            Psalm 60:4
        Words:  Daniel Whittle, 1887
        Music:  James McGranahan, 1887
        MIDIed: Joel Dunlap, 1992

There's a royal banner given for display
To the soldiers of the King;
As an ensign fair we lift it up today,
While as ransomed ones we sing.

Tho 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!

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!

When the glory dawns, 'tis drawing very near,
It is hast'ning day by day;
Then before our King the foe shall disappear,
And the cross the world shall sway!

CHORUS:
Marching on, marching on, 
For Christ count everthing but loss!
And to crown him King,
We'll toil and sing
Beneath the banner of the cross!
