To the soldiers of the King;
As an ensign fair we lift it up to-day,
While as ransomed ones we sing.
Chorus:
Marching on, marching on,
For Christ count ev'rything but loss!
And to crown Him King, we’ll toil and sing,
’Neath the banner of the cross!
2 Though the foe may rage and gather as the flood,
Let the standard be displayed;
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord,
For the truth be not dismayed! [Chorus]
3 Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell,
Make the glorious tidings known;
Of the crimson banner now the story tell,
While the Lord shall claim His own! [Chorus]
4 When the glory dawns - ’tis drawing very near -
It is hast'ning day by day -
Then before our King the foe shall disappear,
And the cross the world shall sway! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [There's a royal banner given for display]
