The Cyber Hymnal ‎#16633

16633. We Will Rally To The Standard

1 We will ral­ly to the stand­ard
Of our bless­èd Lord and King;
We will gather ’neath His ba­nner,
We to Him our hearts will bring;
We will come to Him, our Sav­ior,
With His blood He hath us bought;
He hath said, "Let lit­tle child­ren
Come to Me, for­bid them not."

2 Children, come, our ranks are op­en,
We will give the wel­come hand,
Come with us—the Prince is call­ing,
Come and join our hap­py band;
We have Jesus for our cap­tain,
He will keep us from all harm;
Where He leads us we will fo­llow,
Trusting in His sav­ing arm.

3 He will give us peace and par­don,
He will name us as His own;
He will crown us with His glo­ry,
He will guide us to the throne;
Never let us faint or fal­ter,
Never wea­ry, nev­er wait;
Onward, on­ward, God is with us,
Onward to the gold­en gate.
