There s a royal banner given for displayTo the soldiers of the KingAs an ensign fair we lift it up todayWhile as ransomed ones we singMarching on marching onFor Christ count everything but lossAnd to crown Him King toil and singNeath the banner of the crossThough the foe may rage and gather as the floodLet the Standard be displayedAnd beneath its folds as soldiers of the LordFor the truth be not dismayedMarching on marching onFor Christ count everything but lossAnd to crown Him King toil and singNeath the banner of the crossOver land and sea wherever man may dwellMake the glorious tidings knownOf the crimson banner now the story tellWhile the Lord shall claim his ownMarching on marching onFor Christ count everything but lossAnd to crown Him King toil and singNeath the banner of the crossWhen the glory dawns tis drawing very nearIt is hastening day by dayThen before our King the foe shall disappearAnd the cross the world shall swayMarching on marching onFor Christ count everything but lossAnd to crown Him King toil and singNeath the banner of the cross
