¶Lyrics / Text

Uprouse ye now, brave brotherhood, With honest heart and working hand, We are but few, toil-tried and true, Yet hearts beat high to dare and do. And who would not a champion be, In Labour's lordlier chivalry! We fight, but bear no bloody brand, We fight to free our Fatherland, We fight, that smiles of love may glow, On lips where curses quiver now. Hurrah! Hurrah! true knights are we, In Labour's lordlier chivalry. O! there be hearts that ache to see The day-dawn of our victory; Eyes full of heartbreak with us plead, And watchers weep, and martyrs bleed. O who would not a champion be! In Labour's lordlier chivalry! Work, brothers mine, work hand and brain, We'll win the golden age again, And Love's millennial morn shall rise In happy hearts and blessed eyes. Hurrah! Hurrah! True knights are we, In Labour's lordlier chivalry.
