1. See the flag of Jesus
O’er the earth unfurled!
Sabbath schools are singing
All around the world,
Sunday schools in China,
India and Japan,
Training souls for glory,
By the gospel plan.
Chorus:
Lift the cross of Jesus,
Bear the Bile on!
Soon the world will echo
With His vict’ry won.
See the flag of Jesus
O’er the earth unfurled!
Sunday schools are singing
All around the world.
2. Little Indian diamonds,
Precious island pearls;
Learning Bible lessons,
Happy boys and girls.
Afric’s gold dust scattered,
‘Neath the feet of wrong,
Rises up in brightness
From the darkness long.
3. Sunday schools are singing,
France and Spain and Rome;
Hear their joyous music,
Songs of heav’n and home.
Where the martyrs suffered,
Holy seed is spread;
Gather up these rubies,
Dyed in life-blood red.
4. Sunday schools in Chili,
Reaching down the coast,
Mexico is leading,
Gallant little host.
Glad Brazilian children,
Praise to God shall sing;
Far-off Patagonia
Answers, “Christ is King.”
