1 Lifting the banner of Jesus,
On in his name we will go,
Scorning to do evil actions,
Ready to face ev’ry foe.

Refrain:
Lifting his banner, his glorious banner,
We march at command of the King;
Lifting his banner, his glorious banner,
Hosanna to Jesus we sing.

2 Trying to help one another,
Singing with joy on the way,
Knowing our Captain is near us,
Looking to him day by day. [Refrain]

3 Lifting the banner of Jesus,
Gladly we fall into line,
Keeping in step with the Savior,
Trusting his power divine. [Refrain]
