That all freedom may abide
Carry on!
For the brave who fought and died,
Carry on!
England's flag so long adored
Is the banner of the Lord-
His the cannon-His the sword-
Carry on, and on! Carry on!

Through the night of death and tears,
Carry on!
Through the hour that scars and sears,
Carry on!
Legions in the flame-torn sky,-
Armies that go reeling by,-
Only once can each man die;
Carry on!

For the things you count the best,
Carry on!
Take love with you,-leave the rest-
Carry on!
Though the fight be short or long,
Men of ours-O dear and strong-
Yours will be the Victor's song,
Carry on-and on! Carry on!
