Hymn - The Banner Of The Cross Chords

[Verse 1]
Bb
There's a royal banner given for display
       F7              Bb
To the soldiers of the King;
Bb
As an ensign fair we lift it up today,
         F        C    C7 F
While as ransomed ones we sing.

[Chorus]
F        F7           Bb
Marching on, marching on,
Bb7 Eb           Bb             F
For Christ count everything but loss!
F7     Bb              Eb       Cm
And to crown Him King, Toil and sing
Bb                F7     Bb
'Neath the banner of the cross!

[Verse 2]
Bb
Though the foe may rage, and gather as the flood,
        F7              Bb
Let the standard be dis-played;
Bb
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord,
        F        C   C7  F
For the truth be not dis-mayed.

[Chorus]
F        F7           Bb
Marching on, marching on,
Bb7 Eb           Bb             F
For Christ count everything but loss!
F7     Bb              Eb       Cm
And to crown Him King, Toil and sing
Bb                F7     Bb
'Neath the banner of the cross!

[Verse 3]
Bb
Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell,
         F7               Bb
Make the glorious tidings known;
Bb
Of the crimson banner now the story tell,
          F    C     C7  F
While the Lord claim His own!

[Chorus]
F        F7           Bb
Marching on, marching on,
Bb7 Eb           Bb             F
For Christ count everything but loss!
F7     Bb              Eb       Cm
And to crown Him King, Toil and sing
Bb                F7     Bb
'Neath the banner of the cross!

[Verse 4]
Bb
When the glory dawns 'tis drawing very near,
      F7               Bb
It is hast'ning day by day;
Bb
Then before our King the foe shall disappear,
        F         C     C7    F
And the cross the world shall sway!

[Chorus]
F        F7           Bb
Marching on, marching on,
Bb7 Eb           Bb             F
For Christ count everything but loss!
F7     Bb              Eb       Cm
And to crown Him King, Toil and sing
Bb                F7     Bb
'Neath the banner of the cross!
