| 1. O banner of Jesus,
in triumph advancing
Thy folds in the sunlight
of beauty unfurled;
From the hillsides afar
to the isles of the ocean,
Thy glory shall float
till it conquers the world.
Refrain.
O Banner of Jesus,
thou glory crown’d Banner,
Thou emblem of hope o’er
the nations unfurled;
March on in triumph,
March on in beauty,
Till Jesus, till Jesus
has conquered the world;
March on in triumph,
March on in beauty,
Till Jesus, till Jesus
has conquered the world.
2. Oh say, can you see
where the ranks are now marching?
With banners of beauty like
conq’rors they come:
They have fought the good fight,
and in peace are returning,
The ransomed of Zion;
oh, welcome home!
Refrain.
O Banner of Jesus,
thou glory crown’d Banner,
Thou emblem of hope o’er
the nations unfurled;
March on in triumph,
March on in beauty,
Till Jesus, till Jesus
has conquered the world;
March on in triumph,
March on in beauty,
Till Jesus, till Jesus
has conquered the world.
3. Behold where they stand on
the green hills immortal,
Their weapons unheeded,
they rest on the shore;
There, with heroes and martyrs
in glory reposing,
Their warfare is ended,
they weary no more.
Refrain.
O Banner of Jesus,
thou glory crown’d Banner,
Thou emblem of hope o’er
the nations unfurled;
March on in triumph,
March on in beauty,
Till Jesus, till Jesus
has conquered the world;
March on in triumph,
March on in beauty,
Till Jesus, till Jesus
has conquered the world.
