Lyrics

Do you see in the dist­ance yon­der,
That line drawn up in ar­ray?
’Tis the host of the Loy­al Leagu­ers,
Come forth to the con­quest day.
They follow the blood­stained ban­ner,
And the path that their Mas­ter trod,
For their sign is the cross of Cal­v’ry,
And their sword is the Word of God.

Refrain

Victory, we’ll sing of vic­to­ry,
For Christ hath promised us the vic­to­ry;
Victory, we’ll sing of vic­to­ry,
Faith brings the vic­to­ry.

They are march­ing away to con­quest
That shall ne­ver know a defeat,
For the Christ hath as­sured all vict’ry
Who are faith­ful and scorn re­treat.
Then join this ad­vanc­ing army,
And look to the throne above,
Lift the form of thy fall­en bro­ther,
And point to the God of love.
