|(J=132) Brightly gleams our ban-ner Point-ing to the sky, Waving on Christ's soldiers, To their home on high. Journ'ying o'er the desert, Glad-ly thus we pray, REFRAIN And with hearts u- nit - ed, Take our heav'nward way. Brightly gleams our ban-ner, Point-ing to the sky, Waving on Christ's sol-diers To their home on high.

We come in the might of the Lord of Light, His arm In rev'rent train to meet Him: And we put to flight the armies of night, That the sons of the day may greet Him, The sons of the day may greet Him. CHORUS. We march, we march to vic - to - ry, With the cross of the Lord be-fore us, With His loving eye look-ing down from the sky, And His holy arm spread 2 Our sword is the Spirit of God on high, 3 And the choir of angels with song awaits For our Captain has broken the brazen gates, We march, we march, etc. 4 Then onward we march, our arms to prove, 5 We march, we march to victory! With the cross of the Lord before us, With His loving eye looking down from the sky, GERARD MOULTRIE 503 ALMA LUX IIS. With Refrain FRANCES R. HAVERGAL (J=108) On our way re-joicing as we homeward move, Hearken to our prais-es, O Thou God of love! Is there grief or sad-ness? Thine it can- not be! (May be sung to Hermas, No. 518) 2 If with honest-hearted love for God and man, Thou Who giv'st the seed-time wilt give large increase, 3 On our way rejoicing gladly let us go; Conquered hath our Leader, vanquished is our foe! 4 Unto God the Father joyful songs we sing; ARTHUR H. MESSITER 504 MARION, NEW 6.6.8.6 With Refrain 4 (J=100) Rejoice, ye pure in heart! Rejoice, give thanks and sing! Your glo rious banner wave on high; The cross of Christ your King! 2 Bright youth, and snow-crowned age, 3 With all the angel choirs, With all the saints of earth, 4 Your clear hosannas raise, And alleluias loud! Whilst answering echoes upward float, 5 Yes, on through life's long path! From youth to age, by night and day, 6 Still lift your standard high! As warriors through the darkness toil, 7 At last the march shall end; 8 Then on, ye pure in heart! EDWARD H. PLUMPTRE |
