Refrain: Move on! move on! The King’s triumphant host; Move on! move on! Each soldier to His post! In His matchless name we conquer, In His pow’r we boast; On with our mighty Commander! 2 With undaunted courage march against the alien host; Forward to the battle, comrades! their defence is lost; Clad in armor all divine, and counting not the cost, On with our King to the battle!
