Keep the Banner Flying

Keep the ban­ner fly­ing

This your cry should be

Many souls are dy­ing

Jesus must they see;

Under con­dem­na­tion

Life will soon be gone;

Only is sal­va­tion

In the Sin­less One.

Shout

shout the bat­tle cry

Girt with en­dea­vor;

Lift

lift the ban­ner high

Now and for­ev­er;

Shout

shout the bat­tle cry

Girt with en­dea­vor;

Lift

lift the ban­ner high

Now and for­ev­er.

Keep the ban­ner fly­ing;

When the faith­ful fall

Give not up to sigh­ing

Christ is all in all;

Rally all your forc­es

See

the Cap­tain’s near;

Trust to His re­sourc­es

There is naught to fear.

Keep the ban­ner fly­ing;

Christians should agree

With each oth­er vy­ing

Yet in har­mo­ny;

Working still for Je­sus

Righting hu­man wrong

Till the an­gels greet us

With their wel­come song.

Keep the ban­ner fly­ing

Over land and sea;

By your­self de­ny­ing

Comes the vic­to­ry;

Brighten toil with sing­ing

Better days will come;

To the Sav­ior cling­ing

You shall rest at home.
