Tune: Gonfalon Royal
('The royal banners forward go')
********
March forth, Lord, in your victory
O'er sin and death and enmity
Your light shines bright eternally
Grant us your grace here constantly
Anoint your people, Spirit be
Residing in hearts completely
That we shall by faith persevere
Encounter your rich treasures here
For we cannot ourselves here save
But you Christ, your life for us gave
To save, to heal, to sanctify
Eternal life, we ne'er shall die
You our Father in heaven, we
Your people, your sons, daughters be
We born on earth of human line
And born again to life divine
Christ, hope of glory, e'en within
Human lives, you do cleanse from sin
Forgiveness to all does avail
Who on your kind mercies prevail
The Lord our banner you e'er be
For you do set your people free
You are our Lord, our God and King
Thankful praises to you we sing
