Lift Up the Banner (Canaan Melodies #24)

A great old holiness tune by none other than Lelia Morris (who wrote 'Holiness Unto the Lord'). This song calls us to keep the banner of holiness proudly flying. A rousing anthem for all churches, reminding us of our great call to proclaim full and free salvation to all!

LYRICS:

1. Christian soldiers, go proclaim unto ev’ry nation,
Thro’ the pow’r of Jesus’ name, full and free salvation,
Tell it out to all the world - “Holiness unto the Lord,”
Be love’s banner wide unfurled, lift it up.

Refrain:
Precious banner of holiness, keep it proudly flying,
While God’s armies onward press, sin and hell defying.
Lift it up we surely must; no more trail it in the dust;
Precious banner of holiness, lift it up.

2 Tell to ev’ry sin-sick soul, God Himself hath spoken,
Jesus’ blood makes fully whole, sin’s dominion broken,
To the breeze your banner fling, uttermost salvation sing,
Let the glorious anthem ring, lift it up.

3 Till from ev’ry hill remote, ev’ry plain and valley,
Shall the gospel banner float; to this cause we rally,
Holiness to all declare, for the coming King prepare,
Till He shall in clouds appear, lift it up.
