450 ~ Fling Out the Banner!
1
Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; Our glory only in the cross; Our only hope, the Crucified.
2
Fling out the banner! angels bend In anxious silence o'er the sign, And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the love divine.
3
Fling out the banner! sin-sick souls, That sink and perish in the strife, Shall touch in faith its radiant hem, And spring immortal into life.
4
Fling out the banner! wide and high, Seaward and skyward, let it shine; Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours; We conquer only in that sign.
