2 That banner, brighter than the star Go to the conquest of all lands;
That leads the train of night, All must be His at length.
Shines on their march, and guides from far 5 o fear not, faint not, halt not now; |

|

|
His servants to the fight,
3 Ye armies of the living God, I His sacramental host, Where hallowed footstep never trod,
Take your appointed post.
4 Though few and small and weak your band
Strong in your Captain's strength, |
Quit you like men, be strong; To Christ shall every nation bow, And sing with you this song: 6 "Uplifted are the gates of brass; The bars of iron yield;.. . Behold the King of Glory pass! The cross hath won the field."
James Montgomery, 1843

2 Thou Prince of Life, arise,
Nor let Thy glory cease, Far spread the conquests of Thy grace, And bless the earth with peace.
3 Thou Holy Ghost, arise,
Expand Thy quickening wing, |
And o'er a dark and ruined world Let light and order spring. 4 All on the earth, arise,
To God the Saviour sing; From shore to shore, from earth to heaven, Let echoing anthems ring.
Anon., 1800: enlarged in Wardlaw's Selection, 1803 |
