Lyrics
Verse 1
There's a royal banner given for display To the soldier of the King; As an ensign fair we lift it up today, While as ransomed ones we sing.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
When the great Commander from the vaulted sky, Sounds the ressurection day, Then before our King the faint and foe shall die And the saints shall march away.
Chorus
Marching on and on! Marching on and on! For Christ counts anything but loss, For the king of Kings, (we'll) toil and sing (beneath) 'Neath the banner of the cross.
