Song
“Loudly sounds the war-cry from the Isle of Green,”
Niger Shamrocks
Loudly sounds the war cry from the Isle of Green,
Rally 'neath her standard, Soldiers of the Queen,
On the lonely hillsides, by the stormy wave,
In the crowded cities, where are souls to save,
Legio Mariae, O hear the battle cry
Legio Mariae, we conquer or we die.
2
Thro' the torrid regions where the tradewinds blow,
In the niger hamlets where the fan palms grow;
From the Indian jungle to the Arctic cold,
There must be One Shepherd; there must be One Fold,
Legio Mariae, O hear the battle cry,
Legio Mariae, we conquer or we die.(continues on next page)
