sThe Christian War;

March forward, shoulder to shoulder
They'll raise the Cross and freedom
Beside the Christian altar;
From this objective, these boys G
ours
win never, never falter
Until Englands ships sail the
Wind-swept seas;
Proud France will rise again
From bended knees;
Il Chinese, Czech, Pole and Russian blool
Shall be avenged with all nations
Who gave their proud Sons
To save mankind.
Until all nations united stand
And freedom rings from every land
Then only will they cease to fight
We know that Always
God is Might"
Milton, Delaware,
