Banners Blessed

orchidee



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
