HYMN 571

H.C 508 11s (FE 598)
"Thou hast given a banner to them 
that fear thee" - Ps. 60:4



1.  BRIGHTLY gleams our banner

     pointing to the sky

     Waving on Christ’s soldiers 

     To their home on high 

     Marching through the desert,

     Gladly thus we pray

     Still with beans united 

     Singing on our way. 

Chorus:  Brightly gleams our banner

               Pointing to the sky

               Waving on Christ's soldiers

               To their home on high.


2.  Jesus, Lord and master

     At Thy sacred feet

     Here, with hearts rejoicing 

     See Thy children meet 

     Often have we left Thee

     ofien gone astray

     Keep us, mighty Saviour 

     In the narrow way.

Chorus:  Brightly gleams...


3.  All our days direct us

    In the way we go

    Lead us on victorious
  
    Over every foe;

    Bid Thine angels shield us 

    When the storm-clouds lower 

    Pardon Lord and save us

    In the last dread hour.

Chorus:  Brightly gleams...


4.  Then with saints and angels 

     May we join above

     offring pray’rs and praises 

     At Thy throne of love 

     When the march is over 

     Then come rest and peace 

     Jesus in His beauty

     Songs that never cease.

Chorus:  Brightly gleams our banner

               Pointing to the sky

               Waving on Christ's soldiers

               To their home on high.  Amen
