Representative Text

1 From over hill and plain
There comes the signal strain -
’Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ;
Its music rolls along,
The hills take up the song,
Of loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ.

Refrain:
“On to victory! On to victory!”
Cries our great Commander, “On!”
We’ll move at His command -
We’ll soon possess the land,
Thru loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ!

2 O hear, ye brave, the sound
That moves the earth around -
’Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ;
Arise to dare and do,
Ring out the watchword true,
Of loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ. [Refrain]

3 Come, join our loyal throng -
We’ll rout the giant wrong -
’Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ;
Where Satan’s banners float
We’ll send the bugle note,
Of loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ. [Refrain]

4 The strength of youth we lay
At Jesus’ feet today -
’Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ;
His gospel we’ll proclaim
Thruout the world’s domain,
Of loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ. [Refrain]
