E61. Now Be the Gospel Banner

1 Now be the gospel banner
In ev'ry land unfurled:
And be the shout -- Hosanna!
Re-echoed thro' the world;
Till ev'ry isle and nation,
Till ev'ry tribe and tongue,
Receive the great salvation,
And join the happy throng.

2 Yes, Thou shalt reign forever,
O Jesus, King of kings!
Thy light, Thy love, Thy favor,
Each ransomed captive sings:
The isles for Thee are waiting,
The deserts learn Thy praise,
The hills and valley's greeting,
The song responsive raise.
