Williston Hymns ‎#152

152. Wave the Banner

1 Wave the banner of Jesus, the King, today,
Send the message of grace over life’s highway;
Tell the lost of God’s eternal love,
Tell them of the home prepared above.

Refrain:
Wave the royal banner, onward move;
To your Lord and Master faithful prove;
The whole wide world for Jesus must be taken!
He is the Savior, Lord and only King!
Who follow in His train are not forsaken—
The victor’s song at last they sing.

2 Wave the banner of Jesus, nor be it furled
Till His kingdom extends over all the world;
Till the high and low, redeemed by grace,
Shall extol His name in ev’ry place. [Refrain]

3 Wave the banner of Jesus, nor hesitate;
If you linger the message may be too late!
O how quickly time is passing on,
And the harvest days will soon be gone. [Refrain]
