"Thou hast given a banner to them that feared thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth." Psalm 60,—4. PHILADELPHIA: JOSEPH KITE & CO., PRINTERS, No. 50 North Fourth Street. 1846. THE ANCIENT BANNER. In boundless mercy, the Redeemer left, The bosom of his Father, and assumed A servant's form, though he had reigned a king, In realms of glory, ere the worlds were made, Or the creating words, "Let there be light" In heaven were uttered.
