BOYS’ BRIGADE ANTHEM, OBJECT AND PRAYER

 

BOYS’ BRIGADE ANTHEM

Verse 1:

Underneath the banner
Of the Cross arrayed,
Lord we ask Thy blessing
On The Boys’ Brigade;
Thou art our Commander
And Thy soldiers, we
And in Christian warfare
We would honour Thee

Chorus:

Underneath the banner
Of the Cross arrayed,
Lord we ask thy blessing
On The Boys’ Brigade

Verse 2:

In each lowly service
As on Drill Parade,
“Duty” be the watchword
Of The Boys’ Brigade;
Make us ever loyal
Small or great the foe;
Lead us, Saviour! lead us,
Everywhere we go

Chorus:

Verse 3:

We will fight for laurels
That will never fade;
For the Holy City
March The Boys’ Brigade;
What we find unholy
In our daily life,
We will try to conquer –
Help us in the strife

Chorus:

OBJECT OF THE BOYS' BRIGADE
