Come mark the wave that pounds the shore
And heed the bluff unwav’ring
So too we stand ‘gainst battle roar
Our courage is unshaken.
Now disregard the arrows shot
From bows of hate untiring
And raise the shield and tremble not
For Him we’ll stand unyielding
The race is run: the battle won
And Christ declared the victor
Come rest, thou soldier, weary one
Come feast no more to hunger.
- Joseph Antonios
