Lo a knight in armour standingB
Ready for the foeC
Thee we greet belov'd CompanionD
Thee we knowC
-
Keep thine oath oh new made soldierE
Pledged in heaven's sightF
Nor forget the vow thou'st takenD
Malta's knightF
-
By the banner o'er us wavingB
By thy lance at restG
Chiefly by that Cross emblazonedH
On thy breastG
-
In the heat of danger's trialI
Dare the fiercest fightF
No desertion no denialI
Right or lifeJ
-
See thou turn not from the conflictK
On the battle fieldL
Though men bear a dying soldierE
On thy shieldL
-
Let thy strong arm shield the helplessA
And the feeble saveM
Mercy's voice the true knight knowethN
And the braveM
-
Welcome dear Sir Knight thrice welcomeO
To our tented fieldL
God will aid us till the finalI
Foe shall yieldL
-
We are pledged unto His kingdomO
Who for us hath borneP
Cross and spear for us did sufferE
Crown of thornP
-
Then for Him who rose triumphantQ
To the heavenly LampR
Gird thy sword though night surround theeN
Wild and dampR
-
When at last in mortal weaknessA
Sword and spear must fallS
Christ unto Thy Grand EncampmentT
Take us allS
