In the name of our God we will set up our banners
We will be, we will be Standard Bearers!
When the enemy cometh in like a flood
The Lord will lift up a standard against them.
When the enemy cometh in like a flood
The Lord will lift up a standard!

See, bright against the sky,
God's standard waving high,
Unfurled for all to see, Banner of Victory.
Hope dwelleth in its folds,
Which for the sinner holds,
Mercy, pardon, peace and joy and liberty!

Chorus:
Hearts burning, the wo'rld spurning,
Our hands yearning to reach the lost,
Nought fearing, our cross bearing
We take the message of the Gospel,
Fling it wide and march singing,
Good news bringing,
Our cry ringing to all who die,
Ch'rist leading, His work speeding,
We'll keep the standard high!

God, give us strength to fight,
God, keep us in the light,
We'll lift the standard higher
In battle never tire,
Where sin doth still surround,
Grace yet will more abound,
'Neath the colours we go forth with Blood and Fire!

His banner above is the banner of love.
His banner above is the banner of love.
Oh, thrice blessed banner.
Oh! Wonderful Love.

So we will be eternally GOD'S STANDARD BEARERS!
