Take the pledge, take the pledge

1 Take the pledge, take the pledge,
The temperate banner view;
Take the pledge, take the pledge,
And then your course pursue;
March boldly on,
The victory now is yours;
March boldly on,
A mighty conquest's won.

2 Take the pledge, take the pledge;
Here's a balm for every wound;
Take the pledge, take the pledge;
No rich prize is found;
March boldly on,
And bend your mighty bow;
March boldly on,
And lay th' invader low.

3 Take the pledge, take the pledge;
Here comes the conquering host;
Take the pledge, take the pledge;
No more of sin we boast;
March boldly on,
And let your colours fly;
March boldly on,
And conquer, though you die.
