Text Based On Psalms Chapter 127
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD.

Keep Thy Colors Flying

Keep thy colors flying, all ye Christian youth,
To Christ's call replying, full of grace and truth.
Rise in strength and beauty, in life's morning glow,
Answer to each duty, onward, upward go.

Refrain
Keep thy colors flying, stand for God and truth,
Keep thy colors flying, all ye Christian youth.

Life is all before thee where to choose thy way,
Keep Christ's colors o'er thee; watch and fight and pray,
With a firm endeavour, every foe defy,
True to Jesus ever, lift thy colors high.

Refrain

Keep thy colors flying, never think of ease;
Sin and self denying, Jesus only please.
Not for worldly pleasure, not for worldly fame,
Not for heaps of treasure, live for Jesus' Name!

Refrain

Keep thy colors flying, walk as Jesus did;
In Him living, dying, let thy life be hid;
Hoping, trusting, ever, breathe this mortal breath;
Thou shalt live forever, Christ has conquered death.

Refrain
