The Banner of the Cross

Author: Harriet M. Chester Hymnal: Joyful Sound #30 (1889) First Line: We are going forth to conquer Refrain First Line: O the banner of the cross Lyrics: 1 We are going forth to conquer In the army of the Lord, We are under marching orders That he left us in his word; In the cause of our Redeemer We will count the world but dross, And we’ll sound aloud our watchword, ‘Tis the banner of the cross. Refrain: O the banner of the cross, For the sake of him who gave it, We will count the world but dross; We’ll defend it with our lives, And we’ll gladly suffer loss, For the honor and protection of the banner of the cross. 2 Though our many foes may rally Like a host on ev’ry side, Yet for ev’ry coming danger Our Redeemer will provide; With his blessed name engraven On our banner waving bright, We will hail it as our signal In the thickest of the fight. [Refrain] 3 When our warfare is accomplished, What a shouting there will be; In the kingdom of our Father, When each other’s face we see, What a joy for ev’ry trial! What a gain for ev’ry loss! And we’ll praise our Lord and Saviour For the banner of the cross. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are going forth to conquer]
