Representative Text

1 We're marching on! we're marching on!
A little loyal band,
And want and woe wheree'er we go
Must vanish from our land,
For wine and ale and rum shall fall.
And Alcohol must flee,
We'll break the chain of vice in twain,
And set the captive free.

Chorus:
For we're marching on! we're marching on!
And though our way be long,
We'll keep it bright with faith by night,
And glad by day with song.

2 We're marching on! we're marching on!
With courage calm and high,
And still above with peace and love,
Our conquering banners fly,
At last the hosts of wrong shall yield
The right shall reign at last
For young and old we're bound to hold,
The temp'rance Standard fast!

Chorus:
For we're marching on! we're marching on!
A little loyal band,
Come woe or weal with fervent zeal,
Around our flag we'll stand.

3 We're marching on! we're marching on!
We would not go alone,
We call on those who hate our foes
To make our cause their own,
We call on those who love the truth,
The children of the Light,
With heart and hand to join the band,
And battle for the right.

Chorus:
For we're marching on! we're marching on!
A little loyal band,
Tho' death be near We will not fear,
The Lord will save our Land.
