Hymn #450
Fling Out the Banner!
Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
