Lyrics:
Leader now on earth no longer,
soldier of th' eternal king,
victor in the fight for heaven,
we thy loving praises sing.
Great Saint George, our patron, help us,
in the conflict be thou nigh;
help us in that daily battle,
where each one must win or die.
Clothe us in thy shining armour,
place thy good sword in our hand;
teach us how to wield it, fighting
onward t’wards the heavenly land.
Great Saint George, our patron, help us,
in the conflict be thou nigh;
help us in that daily battle,
where each one must win or die.
Onward, till, our striving over,
on life's battlefield we fall,
resting then, but ever ready,
waiting for the angel's call.
