There was a sound in the wind to day	A
Like a joyous cymbal ringing	B
And the leaves of the trees talked with the breeze	C
And they altogether were singing	B
For they knew that an army both bold and strong	D
A brave brave army was coming	B
Not with the fife and sounds of strife	E
With marshal music and drumming	B
Not with stern faces and gleaming swords	F
That would make blood to flow like water	G
While brother and brother should slay each other	G
On wholesale fields of slaughter	G
But rather like rills from a thousand hills	H
That ripple through valley and heather	G
On on to the sea with a song of glee	I
Till they meet and mingle together	G
	-
	-
They come from the South and the East and the West	J
The bravest and best in the nation	K
They come at no idle and aimless quest	J
But to work for a world's salvation	K
From the Scot's fair land and from England's strand	L
O'er mountain and heather and ocean	K
They come and the foe by their coming shall know	M
The strength of a Templar's devotion	K
On the earnest brows in the thoughtful eyes	N
We read the unchanging story	I
They fight in their might for the truth and the right	O
And not for vain name or glory	I
O grandest of armies O bravest of bands	P
We give you a cordial greeting	B
And the blood of our warm hearts beats in the hands	P
That are offered to you in meeting	B
The heart of a Templar is never cold	Q
Nor stands it aloof from a brother	G
And his hand is steady and always ready	I
To clasp the hand of another	G
In God's great Book where but angels look	R
On pages of spotless beauty	I
Are written in letters of living light	O
A Templar's vow and his duty	I
'For ever and ever ' the promise reads	S
For ever and ever 'twas given	K
And who keeps or breaks the pledge that he takes	T
Must meet the record in heaven	K
	-
	-
Our order is noble and grand and strong	D
And is gathering strength each hour	G
And the good of the earth proclaim its worth	U
While the foe turns pale at its power	G
And we of the State that men call great	V
The nation's brave 'Badger' daughter	G
Step by step as we go are defeating the foe	M
While we add to the hosts of cold water	G
	-
	-
With a chief at our head whom the foe may well dread	W
The Sherman or Grant of our battles	X
By day and by night we fight the good fight	O
Though never a cannon rattles	X
For the tongue and the pen are the swords of our men	Y
And prayer keeps them whetted and polished	Z
They will let God's light in on the foe's licensed sin	A2
Till the traffic of death is abolished	Z
	-
	-
With cunning hands we fashioned the strands	P
Of a stout restraining tether	G
To fasten the beast for a season at least	B2
And our statesmen tied it together	G
The beast strains the rope with the idle hope	C2
Of making it weaker or longer	G
But the Templars to day are working away	A
To make it shorter and stronger	G
	-
	-
We give you greeting we need your aid	D2
There is work for many a morrow	M
There are beautiful souls going down in the bowls	E2
There are homes that are burdened with sorrow	M
There are mourning captives all over the earth	U
Hugging the fetters that bind them	F2
We must show them the light we must set them aright	D2
We must work for them all as we find them	F2
	-
	-
With a soaring 'Faith ' that is stronger than death	G2
We must work while the day hangs o'er us	H2
We are brave and strong and our battle song	D
Has 'Hope' for the ringing chorus	H2
With 'Charity' broad as the mercy of God	D2
We must lift up the fallen neighbor	G
And the Lord's dear band in the angel land	D2
Will smile on our bless d labor	G
	-
	-
Welcome brave warriors in God's holy cause	I2
The hearts in our bosoms are beating	B
As one heart to night filled with pride and delight	D2
Welcome thrice welcome our greeting	B
And though soon between will lie long miles of green	J2
Though oceans divide us for ever	G
The ties which now bind heart with heart mind with mind	D2
The hand of Death only can sever	G
