Rally Round the Standard

Representative Text

1 Come, let us rally round the standard,
The banner is unfurled;
Its folds shine with a precious promise—
Salvation to the world.

Refrain:
Then onward! onward! ‘tis our Lord’s command;
In His name we’ll conquer ev’ry land;
Onward! onward! brave and loyal band,
For Christ, the King, we stand.

2 To Him we give our service freely
To aid the cause we love,
And gladly spread the truth which heaven
Hath sent us from above. [Refrain]

3 May God His richest give us
Upon the work we do,
And daily strengthen our endeavor
And keep us good and true. [Refrain]

4 Come then and rally to our standard
And lend a helping hand,
Until our glorious mission ended—
Christ reigns throughout our land. [Refrain]
