We want no cowards in our band,

We call for valiant-hearted men.

Fight on, ye conq’ring souls, fight on,

Until the conquest you have won.

I have some friends before me gone,

And I’m resolved to travel on.

Farewell, vain world, I’m going home,

My Savior smiles and bids me come.

I’ll tell you what I mean to do,

I mean to go to glory too.
