Our captain leads us on,
He beckons from the skies,
He reaches out a starry crown
And bids us take the prize.
“Be faithful unto death,
Partake my victory,
And thou shalt wear this glorious wreath,
And thou shalt reign with me.”
‘Tis thus the righteous Lord
To every soldier saith;
Eternal life is the reward
Of all victorious faith.
Who conquer in his might,
The victor’s meed receive;
They claim a kingdom in his right,
Which God shall freely give.
