The Christian Banner! Dread No Loss
Where That Broad Ensign Floats Unrolled;
But Let The Fair And Sacred Cross
Blaze Out From Every Radiant Fold:
Stern Foes Arise, A Countless Throng,
Loud As The Storms Of Kara’s Sea,
But Though The Strife Be Fierce And Long,
That Cross Shall Wave In Victory.
Sound The Shrill Trumpet, Sound, And Call
The People Of The Mighty King,
And Bid Them Keep That Standard All
In Martial Thousands Gathering:
Let Them Come Forth From Every Clime
That Lies Beneath The Circling Sun,
Various, As Flowers In That Sweet Clime
Where Flowers Are, In Heart, But One.
Soldiers Of Heaven! Take Sword And Shield,
Look Up To Him Who Rules On High,
And Forward To The Glorious Field,
Where Noble Martyrs Bleed And Die;
Press Onward, Scorning Flight Or Fear,
As Deep Waves Burst On Norway’s Coast,
And Let The Startled Nations Hear
The War-Shout Of The Christian Host.
Lift Up The Banner: Rest No More,
Nor Let This Righteous Warfare Cease,
Till Man’s Last Tribe Shall Bow Before
The Lord Of Lords—The Prince Of Peace:
Go! Bear It Forth, Ye Strong And Brave;
Let Not Those Bright Folds Once Be Furled,
Till That High Sun Shall See Them Wave
Above A Blest But Conquered World.
