George Washintgon Doane (1799-1859).
FLING out the banner! let it float
Skyward and seaward, high and wide;
The sun that lights its shining folds,
The cross on which the Saviour died.
Skyward and seaward, high and wide;
The sun that lights its shining folds,
The cross on which the Saviour died.
Fling out the banner! heathen lands
Shall see from far the glorious sight,
And nations, crowding to be born,
Baptize their spirits in its light.
Shall see from far the glorious sight,
And nations, crowding to be born,
Baptize their spirits in its light.
Fling out the banner! sin-sick souls,
That sink and perish in the strife.
Shall touch in faith its radiant hem.
And spring immortal into life.
That sink and perish in the strife.
Shall touch in faith its radiant hem.
And spring immortal into life.
Fling out the banner! let it float
Skyward and seaward, high and wide,
Our glory, only in the cross;
Our only hope, the Crucified!
Skyward and seaward, high and wide,
Our glory, only in the cross;
Our only hope, the Crucified!
