182. Our Tongues Shall Spread the Savior's Fame
C.M.
Our tongues shall spread the Savior’s fame,
Whose grace we daily prove,
For since our souls have known His name,
His banner has been — Love.
“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.” (Song of Solomon 2:4)
When walking in the paths of sin,
We far from Him did rove,
By sweet constraint He drew us in,
And waved His banner — Love.
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6)
He spread the banquet, made us eat,
Bid all our fears remove;
Yea, o’er our guilty, rebel heads
He placed His banner — Love.
When weary of His rich repast,
We’ve sought, alas! to rove,
He has recalled His faithless guest,
And shown His banner — Love.
In every conflict we sustain,
Through Him the victory we obtain,
Beneath His banner — Love.
And when He calls us home at length,
Through all eternity we’ll sing
