1 Brothers, joining hand to hand,
in one bond united,
pressing onward to that land
where all wrongs are righted:
let your words and actions be
worthy your vocation;
chosen of the Lord, and free,
heirs of Christ’s salvation.

2 Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life,
Who hath gone before you
through the turmoil and the strife,
holds his banner o’er you;
all who see the sacred sign
press towards heaven's portal,
fired by hope that is divine,
love that is immortal.

3 They who follow fear no foe,
care not who assail them;
where the Master leads they go,
he will never fail them;
courage, brothers! We are one,
in the love that sought us;
soon the warfare shall be done,
through the grace he brought us.
