Up and follow, Christian men!
Press through toil and sorrow;
Spurn the night of fear and then
Oh, the glorious morrow!
Who will venture on the strife
Blest who first begin it
Who will grasp the land of life?
Warriors, up and win it!
(From a hymn by Joseph the Hymnographer, translated
and arranged by John Mason Neale)
