Keep your colors flying,
All ye Christian youth,
To Christ’s call replying,
Full of grace and truth.
Rise in strength and beauty,
In life’s morning glow,
Answer to each duty,
Onward, upward go.
Keep your colors flying,
Stand for God and truth,
Keep your colors flying,
All ye Christian youth.
Life is all before you
Where to choose your way,
Keep Christ’s colors o’er you;
Watch and fight and pray,
With a firm endeavor,
Ev’ry foe defy,
True to Jesus ever,
Lift your colors high.
Keep your colors flying,
Stand for God and truth,
Keep your colors flying,
All ye Christian youth.
Keep your colors flying,
Never think of ease;
Sin and self denying,
Jesus only please.
Not for worldly pleasure,
Not for worldly fame,
Not for heaps of treasure,
Live for Jesus’ Name!
Keep your colors flying,
Stand for God and truth,
Keep your colors flying,
All ye Christian youth.
Keep your colors flying,
Walk as Jesus did;
In Him living, dying,
Let your life be hid;
Hoping, trusting, ever,
Breathe this mortal breath;
You shall live forever,
Christ has conquered death.
Keep your colors flying,
Stand for God and truth,
Keep your colors flying,
All ye Christian youth.
