CAC GHB 439: LIFT THE BANNER OF THE CROSS

MAKE MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD

439 Lift the banner of the cross hymn

Fight the good fight of faith. 1 Tim. 6:12

Lift the banner of the cross

Bear it onward day by day

Till the mighty pow’rs of

Wrong are downward hurled

Let it grandly, proudly wave

With the message, Christ can save

Lift it higher till it circles all the world.

Lift it higher till it

Circles all the world

Till the mighty pow’rs

Of wrong are downward hur’ld

Let it grandly proudly wave

With the message

“Christ can save”!

lift it higher till it

circles all the world.

Lift the banner of the cross

Till it shines o’er ev’ry land

Let its fold of beauty

Never more be furl’d

Till the darken’d isles shall sing of

Immanuel their King

Lift it higher till circles all the world.

Lift the manner of the cross

Till it shines o’er ev’ry land

Speed the day when all see

Its fold unfurled

Let it float from sea to sea

Till all lands in Christ are free

Lift it higher till it circles all the world.
