| 1 | Brightly gleams our banner | 2 | Jesu, Lord and Master, | |||||||||||||||||||
| Pointing to the sky, | At Thy sacred feet, | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Waving wanderers onward | Here with hearts rejoicing | |||||||||||||||||||||
| To their home on high. | See Thy children meet; | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Journeying o'er the desert, | Often we have left Thee, | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Gladly thus we pray. | Often gone astray; | |||||||||||||||||||||
| And with hearts united | Keep us, mighty Saviour, | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Take our heavenward way. | In the narrow way. | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | All our days direct us |
4 | Then with saints and angels | |||||||||||||||||||
| In the way we go, |
May we join above, | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Lead us on victorious |
Offering prayers and praises | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Over every foe: |
At Thy throne of love; | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bid Thine angels shield us |
When the toil is over, | |||||||||||||||||||||
| When the storm-clouds lower, |
Then comes rest and peace, | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Pardon, Lord, and save us |
Jesus in His beauty, |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| In the last dread hour. | Songs that never cease. | |||||||||||||||||||||
