Representative Text

1 Hear the bugle calling,
Banners waving bright;
Comrades, we are forming,
Ready for the fight;
Let no fear of failure
Keep you from the fray,
For the Conq’ror Glorious
Leads us all the way.

Chorus:
Marching onward, bravely let us go,
Ever onward, we are armed against the foe,
For the Glorious Conqueror is He
Who will lead us on to victory.

2 See, the ranks are filling,
Gird your armor on;
You will need its safe-guard
Ere the fight is won:
Trusting in our Captain,
Banish doubt and fear,—
Tho’ we may not see him,
He is ever near. [Chorus]

3 Onward, then to battle,
Let us bravely go,
Ready for the conflict,
Armed against the foe;
Up with truth and honor,
Down with selfish deeds;
We may safely follow
Where our Conq’ror leads. [Chorus]
