Keep the ban­ner fly­ing,
This your cry should be,
Many souls are dy­ing,
Jesus must they see;
Under con­dem­na­tion,
Life will soon be gone;
Only is sal­va­tion
In the Sin­less One.

Refrain

Shout, shout the bat­tle cry,
Girt with en­dea­vor;
Lift, lift the ban­ner high,
Now and for­ev­er;
Shout, shout the bat­tle cry,
Girt with en­dea­vor;
Lift, lift the ban­ner high,
Now and for­ev­er.

Keep the ban­ner fly­ing;
When the faith­ful fall,
Give not up to sigh­ing,
Christ is all in all;
Rally all your forc­es,
See, the Cap­tain’s near;
Trust to His re­sourc­es,
There is naught to fear.

Refrain

Keep the ban­ner fly­ing;
Christians should agree,
With each other vy­ing,
Yet in har­mo­ny;
Working still for Je­sus,
Righting hu­man wrong,
Till the an­gels greet us
With their wel­come song.

Refrain

Keep the ban­ner fly­ing,
Over land and sea;
By your­self de­ny­ing
Comes the vic­to­ry;
Brighten toil with sing­ing,
Better days will come;
To the Sav­ior cling­ing,
You shall rest at home.
