14. Fling Abroad the Gospel Banner!

1 Fling abroad the gospel banner!
Let it ever be unfurled
Till it floats in pride and beauty
O'er the nations of the world!
It shall tell the wondrous story
Of salvation, full and free,
Bringing joy to all the nations,
Circling ev'ry land and sea!

Chorus:
Fling abroad the gospel banner!
Let it ever be unfurled
Till it floats in pride and beauty
O'er the nations of the world!

2 Fling abroad the gospel banner!
Loyal armies of the King;
Where its crimson folds are gleaming,
Hopes unfading it shall bring.
Ever swiftly on advancing,
Hosts of sin shall flee away;
And the darkness all shall vanish
At the glory of the day. [Chorus]

3 Fling abroad the gospel banner!
Onward unto victory!
Emblem of the cross of Jesus,
Let the world its glory see!
Falter not! His cause is glorious!
Forward go! Rejoice and sing!
Ye shall surely be victorious
'Neath the banner of the King. [Chorus]
