Mother of an army great,

Ways of pleasantness are thine.
Leading where in wisdom’s shrine
‘Thou the moulder of our fate,
‘Thee we sing today.
Thine the hand with clasp so strong
Holding, tho’ the years be long.
Thou the burden of our song,
Joy and cheer, and hope devine,
Ever dwell for aye.
Thine the voice whose call we hear
Thine the hand which holds us near,
Thine the heart, so true, so dear,
Cherished, loved alway.
Thee we sing today.
