Hymn 396
Brightly gleams our banner
- f Brightly gleams our banner.
Pointing to the sky.
Waving on Christ's soldiers
To their home on high
Marching through the desert
Gladly thus we pray.
Still with hearts united
Singing on our way.
Brightly gleams our banner,
Pointing to the sky,
Waving on Christ's soldiers,
To their home on high.
- mf Jesus, Lord and Master,
At Thy sacred feet.
Here, with hearts rejoicing,
See Thy children meet,
p Often have we left Thee,
Often gone astray;
Keep us, mighty Saviour,
In the narrow way.
- mf Pattern of our childhood
Once Thyself a child
Make our childhood holy
Pure, and meek, and mild.
cr In the hour of danger
Whither can we flee?
Save to Thee, dear Saviour,
Only unto Thee.
- f All our days direct us
In the way we go:
Lead us on victorious
Over every foe;
di Bid Thine angels shield us
When the storm-clouds lower.
Pardon Thou and save us.
p In the last dread hour.
- f Then with saints and angels
May we join above,
Ofrring pray'rs and praises
At Thy throne of love,
cr When the march is over.
Then come rest and peace,
Jesus in His beauty,
ff Songs that never cease.
Christly Living
