Keep Your Colors Flying

Keep your colors fly­ing

All ye Christ­ian youth

To Christ’s call re­ply­ing

Full of grace and truth.

Rise in strength and beau­ty

In life’s morn­ing glow

Answer to each du­ty

Onward

up­ward go.

Keep your co­lors fly­ing

Stand for God and truth

Keep your co­lors fly­ing

All ye Christ­ian youth.

Life is all be­fore you

Where to choose your way

Keep Christ’s co­lors o’er you;

Watch and fight and pray

With a firm en­dea­vor

Ev’ry foe de­fy

True to Je­sus ev­er

Lift your co­lors high.

Keep your co­lors fly­ing

Never think of ease;

Sin and self de­ny­ing

Jesus on­ly please.

Not for world­ly plea­sure

Not for world­ly fame

Not for heaps of trea­sure

Live for Je­sus’ name!

Keep your co­lors fly­ing

Walk as Je­sus did;

In Him liv­ing

dy­ing

Let your life be hid;

Hoping

trust­ing

ev­er

Breathe this mor­tal breath;

You shall live for­ev­er

Christ has con­quered death.
