2
Though the foe may rage and gather as the flood,
Let the standard be displayed;
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord,
For the truth be not dismayed.
3
Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell,
Make the glorious tidings known;
Of the crimson banner now the story tell,
While the Lord shall claim His own.
4
When the glory dawns, 'tis drawing very near,
It is hastening day by day;
Then before our King the foe shall disappear,
And the cross the world shall sway.

LOTW ldelfonso Mora / Eph 1.18 GRATITUDE / Acts 4.32-36 COMMUNION

Gleaming like the light of day,
Yet even more brightly shining;
His great splendor has bestowed wisdom, knowledge, understan-
ding,
Our precious Lord gave us salvation's light;
Oh, Lord Jesus, Divine Redeemer,
Our Savior and our peace.
CHORUS
This light is shining in the Church of our Lord,
For Jesus the Master, sent us the Great Counselor;
Comforter, the Holy Spirit,
A mighty gift of our God;
Your people extol thee and praise thee,
They have known your love.
2
Now with joy and gratitude,
Your people gather before you;
They received the gift of Christ, joyful for His great salvation,
Keep us in this bond, your Church in unity;
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HYMNAL• 12 3
