182. Our Tongues Shall Spread the Savior's Fame

C.M.
1
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.
2
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.
3
He spread the banquet, made us eat,
 
Bid all our fears remove;
 
Yea, o’er our guilty, rebel heads
 
He placed His banner — Love.
4
When weary of His rich repast,
 
We’ve sought, alas! to rove,
 
He has recalled His faithless guest,
 
And shown His banner — Love.
“Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?” (Romans 2:4)
5
In every conflict we sustain,
 
Our enemies shall prove,
 
Through Him the victory we obtain,
 
Beneath His banner — Love.
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57)
6
And when He calls us home at length,
 
To feast with Him above,
 
Through all eternity we’ll sing
 
His never-changing love.
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.” (Revelation 1:5)
