"The Christian Flag"


The Christian flag is one of the oldest unchanged flags in the world. It was conceived on a Sunday, September 26, 1897 at Brighton Chapel, Coney Island, New York by Charles C. Overton, the Sunday School Superintendent.

It is different from every other flag and exists for all the world's people. It cannot be restricted or controlled by any nation or denomination.

The colors are white with a blue canton and a red cross.


Christian Flag









By Fanny Crosby, 1903

The Christian Flag! behold it,
And hail it with a song,
And let the voice of millions
The joyful strain prolong,
To every clime and nation,
We send it forth today;
God speed its glorious mission,
With earnest hearts we pray.

Refrain

The Christian Flag! behold it,
And hail it with a song,
And let the voice of millions
The joyful strain prolong.

The Christian Flag! unfurl it,
That all the world may see
The bloodstained cross of Jesus,
Who died to make us free.
The Christian Flag! unfurl it,
And oer and oer again,
Oh! may it bear the message,
Good will and peace to men.

Refrain

The Christian Flag! God bless it!
Now throw it to the breeze,
And may it wave triumphant
Oer land and distant seas,
Till all the wide creation
Upon its folds shall gaze,
And all the world united,
Our loving Savior praise.
