THE FLAG III THE CHTJECH.
There s a flag in the Church where
we gather to pray.
The sign of the free and the brave;
It will bring to our minds, each re
turning Lord's Day,
Those who go to the field and the
wave.
We rejoice in their strength both of
heart and of hand,
We honor their courage so true;
We know; in the time of the test,
they will stand

They can count on the love and the
pride of each heart.
That at home must abide . for "its
work ;
In the war which must come.
wc 1
must each bear a part.
And the burden let none of us shirk.
I or protection on land, lor saiety at I
sea.
Of our noble and brave,
we will
pray;
The promise of Scripture will e'er be
our plea,
While we wait for the homecoming ;
day.

Their names and their needs we will
bring
To the God whose goodness shall fill
all our thought.
As we lift up our hearts, as we
sing.
There's a flag in the battle, a flag
in the mart, .
A flag wher'er you may search,
A flag in each home, a flag in each
heart,
Praise God! there's a Eag in the
Church.
