Calvary Songs ‎#119

119. Brightly Gleams Our Banner

1 Brightly gleams our banner,
Pointing to the sky,
Waving wanderers onward,
To their home on high;
Journeying o'er the desert,
Gladly thus we pray,
And with hearts united,
Take our heav'nward way.

Refrain:
Brightly gleams our banner,
Pointing to the sky,
Waving wanderers onward
To their homes on high.

2 Jesus, Lord, and Master,
At thy sacred feet,
Here with hearts rejoicing,
See thy children meet;
Often have we left thee,
Often gone astray,
Keep us, mighty Saviour,
In the narrow way. [Refrain]

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 thou and save us
In the last dread hour. [Refrain]

4 Then with Saints and Angels
May we join above,
Offering endless praises
At thy throne of love;
When the toil is over,
Then comes rest and peace,—
Jesus, in his beauty;—
Songs that never cease. [Refrain]
