The Banner of the Cross

Author: Daniel W. Whittle Meter: 11.7.11.7 Appears in 158 hymnals First Line: There's a royal banner given for display Refrain First Line: Marching on, marching on Lyrics: 1 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. Chorus: Marching on, marching on, For Christ count ev'rything but loss! And to crown Him King, toil and sing 'Neath the banner of the cross! 2 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! [Chorus] 3 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! [Chorus] 4 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] Topics: Jesus, King; Surrender, Submission Used With Tune: ROYAL BANNER

Chorus: Come home, come home, Ye who are weary come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home! 2 Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, Pleading for you and for me? Why should we linger and heed not His mercies, Mercies for you and for me? [Chorus] 3 Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, Coming for you and for me. [Chorus] 4 Oh! for the wonderful love He has promised, Promised for you and for me; Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon, Pardon for you and for me.
