Representative Text

1 ‘Neath the banner of His love we are marching up above,
From the Sunday School, an army brave and strong;
While the summer bloom and light lie around us fair and bright,
We will sing His praise to whom we all belong.

Refrain:
Wave the banner of His blessed love on high,
Shout rejoicing let His praises fill the sky,
Marching forward in a glad exultant throng,
In the name of Jesus we will conquer wrong.

2 Though our triumphs may be few, we will join the service true,
Send out loud hosannas ringing far and wide,
Happy soldiers of the cross, counting everything but loss,
If the King of kings is walking by our side. [Refrain]

3 ‘Neath the banner of His love pressing on to heights above,
We will use our strength to battle for the right;
In a note of joy and cheer shouting out our watch word dear,
While our hearts and hands for Jesus we unite. [Refrain]
