Triumphant Songs No.3 ‎#29

29. His banner is love

1 O hallowed hour when grace divine,
With rapture fills this heart of mine,
And sweetly tunes my tongue to sing,
The praise of him, my Lord and King.

Refrain:
From every ill he guards me still,
And draws my soul to heav’n above;
And still I know where’er I go,
His banner over me is love.

2 O hallowed peace, O pure delight,
My sky is clear, its star is bright,
My hope is firm, my joy complete,
While resting here at Jesus’ feet. [Refrain]

3 When trials deep like surges roll,
He safely hides my trembling soul;
Above the clouds my faith can see
His banner waving over me. [Refrain]

4 And when at last my journey o’er,
My feet shall press the golden shore;
What bliss to sing thro’ endless days,
My Savior’s love, my Savior’s praise. [Refrain]
