1. Shall the youth of Zion falterIn defending truth and right?While the enemy assaileth,Shall we shrink or shun the fight? No!
True to the faith that our parents have cherished,True to the truth for which martyrs have perished,To God’s command,Soul, heart, and hand,Faithful and true we will ever stand.
2. While we know the pow’rs of darknessSeek to thwart the work of God,Shall the children of the promiseCease to grasp the iron rod? No!
True to the faith that our parents have cherished,True to the truth for which martyrs have perished,To God’s command,Soul, heart, and hand,Faithful and true we will ever stand.
