The cross of Christ your King.

Strong men and maidens fair,
Raise high your free, exulting song,
God's wondrous praise declare. [Refrain]

Still singing as ye go;
From youth to age, by night and day,
In gladness and in woe. [Refrain]

Still march in firm array,
As warriors thro' the darkness toil
Till dawns the golden day. [Refrain]
