The Christian Flag! behold it,
And hail it with a song,
And let the voice of millions
The joyful strain prolong,
To every clime and nation,
We send it forth today;
God speed its glorious mission,
With earnest hearts we pray.
The Christian Flag! behold it,
And hail it with a song,
And let the voice of millions
The joyful strain prolong.
The Christian Flag! unfurl it,
That all the world may see
The bloodstained cross of Jesus,
Who died to make us free.
The Christian Flag! unfurl it,
And o’er and o’er again,
Oh! may it bear the message,
“Good will and peace to men.”
The Christian Flag! behold it,
And hail it with a song,
And let the voice of millions
The joyful strain prolong.
The Christian Flag! God bless it!
Now throw it to the breeze,
And may it wave triumphant
O’er land and distant seas,
Till all the wide creation
Upon its folds shall gaze,
And all the world united,
Our loving Savior praise.
The Christian Flag! behold it,
And hail it with a song,
And let the voice of millions
The joyful strain prolong.
