Comrades of the Cross

We are loy­al com­rades

com­rades of the cross

Marching on to vic­to­ry

count­ing all but dross

For our great com­mand­er

who will lead us on

Till the foe is van­quished and the vic­to­ry won.

Forward

for­ward

then

ye com­rades

Loyal

brave and strong

Christ is our com­mand­er

Victory is our song.

Comrades

nev­er fal­ter

lift the stand­ard high

Bear it brave­ly for­ward

let its co­lors fly;

Every call to du­ty

heed with­out de­lay

Braving ev­ery dan­ger

hast­en to ob­ey.

Onward

up­ward

com­rades

ral­ly for the fight

Charge the com­ing le­gions

seize the sun­lit height;

Hold it for your cap­tain

nev­er call re­treat;

Soon we’ll lay our tro­phies at the Mas­ter’s feet.

Comrades

who re­ceive Him

Mas­ter of us all

Trust

con­fess

ob­ey Him

hear His gra­cious call;

Follow Him to Cal­va­ry

bear its shame and loss;

We are loy­al com­rades

com­rades of the cross.
