151. Lift Up His Banner

1 Lift His banner on the highest mountain,
Sunlight gleaming on its folds so fair,
Shout His praises, swell the song of gladness,
Rally! rally! while His cross we bear.

Refrain:
Wave His banner, lift the blessed standard high,
Praise the Lord of earth and sky,
Praise the Lord of earth and sky,
Shout His praises, Christ forever! be our cry,
Christ forever be our rallying cry.

2 Hear Him calling from the heights of glory,
Who will follow on to victory?
King Eternal, all Thy love proclaiming,
We will faithful to Thy service be. [Refrain]

3 Come, exultant, swell the hallelujahs,
Joy shall ring through all the earth and sky,
On for Jesus! join the glorious Leader,
“Christ forever!” wave His standard high. [Refrain]
