At Our Post

lyricist: J. Jackson, 1881
Composer: John Sweney

At our post

as val­iant sol­diers

Bearing each our sword and shield;

This our watch­word now and ev­er:

We will die

but nev­er yield.

At our post

no step must fal­ter

Let us stand with one ac­cord

Beating back the wa­ry tempt­er

In the name of Christ the Lord.

At our post

no step must fal­ter

At our post

no time to sleep;

We must guard the roy­al stan­dard

Every eye a watch must keep.

At our post in ac­tive du­ty

Whensoe’er the Lord shall call;

At our post and faith­ful serv­ants

May He find us one and all.
