Fling out the banner! let it float

Author: George Washington Doane, 1799 - 1859 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #315 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; The sun that lights its shining folds, The Cross on which the Saviour died. 2 Fling out the banner! angels bend In anxious silence o’er the sign, And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the love divine. 3 Fling out the banner! heathen lands Shall see from far the glorious sight, And nations, crowding to be born, Baptize their spirits in its light. 4 Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide, Our glory, only in the Cross, Our only hope, the Crucified. 5 Fling out the banner! wide and high, Seaward and skyward, let it shine: Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours; We conquer only in that sign.

Soon shall your sons be free; The sleep of ages break, And rise to liberty. On your far hills, long cold and grey, Has dawned the everlasting day. 4 Shores of the utmost West, Ye that have waited long, Unvisited, unblest, Break forth to swelling song; High raise the note, that Jesus died, Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified. 5 Shout, while ye journey home! Songs be in every mouth! Lo, from the North we come, From East, and West, and South: City of God, the bond are free, We come to live and reign in thee! Languages: English Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD

A-men. 3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered flock, and bring them all To the good Shepherd's peaceful fold. 4 Send them thy mighty word, to speak Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene On which, with sorrowing eyes, we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CRISPIN
