There’s a royal banner
given for display
To the soldiers of the King;
As an ensign fair
we lift it up today,
While as ransomed ones we sing.
Marching on, marching on,
For Christ count
everything but loss!
And to crown Him King,
we’ll toil and sing,
’Neath the banner of the cross!
Though the foe may rage
and gather as the flood,
Let the standard be displayed;
And beneath its folds,
as soldiers of the Lord,
For the truth be not dismayed!
Marching on, marching on,
For Christ count
everything but loss!
And to crown Him King,
we’ll toil and sing,
’Neath the banner of the cross!
Over land and sea,
wherever man may dwell,
Make the glorious tidings known;
Of the crimson banner
now the story tell,
While the Lord
shall claim His own!
Marching on, marching on,
For Christ count
everything but loss!
And to crown Him King,
we’ll toil and sing,
’Neath the banner of the cross!
When the glory dawns—
’tis drawing very near,
It is hastening day by day—
Then before our King
the foe shall disappear,
And the cross
the world shall sway!
Marching on, marching on,
For Christ count
everything but loss!
And to crown Him King,
we’ll toil and sing,
’Neath the banner of the cross!
