The Royal Banners Forward Go

Author: Venantius Fortunatus; Anonymous; J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go, the cross shines forth in mystic glow; upon it life did death endure, and yet by death did life procure. 2 That which the prophet King of old hath in myterious verse foretold is now accomplished while we see that God is reigning from a tree! 3 Blest tree, most sacred and divine, which dost in royal purple shine, supporting an incarnate God, and rendered holy by thy load! 4 Blest tree, whose happy branches bore the wealth that did the world restore, the balance which the price which weigh that spoiled the spoiler of his prey! 5 Blest Trinity, life's source and spring, may ev'ry soul thy praises sing! Let those obtain a crown in heav'n to whom the cross has conquest giv'n! Amen! That which the prophet King of old hath in mysterious verse forefold is now accomplished while we see that God is reigning from a tree.
