Soldiers’ Chorus Lyrics

Soldiers' Chorus - Caerphilly Male Voice Choir

Glory and love to the men of old

 

Their sons may copy their virtues bold

 

Courage in heart and a sword in hand

 

Ready to fight or ready to die for Fatherland

 

Who needs bidding to dare

 

By a trumpet blown

 

Who lacks pity to spare

When the field is won

 

Who would fly from a foe if alone or last

 

And boast he was true

As coward might do

When peril is past

 

Glory and love to the men of old

 

Their sons may copy their virtues bold

 

Courage in heart and a sword in hand

 

Ready to die for Fatherland

 

Now to home again we come

The long and fiery strife of battle over

 

Rest is pleasant after toil

Beneath a wild and stranger sun

Beneath a wild and stranger sun

Many a maiden fair is waiting here to

Greet her truant soldier lover

 

And many a heart will fail

And brow grow pale to hear

 

The tale of cruel peril he has run

 

And many a heart

 

And many a heart will fail

And brow grow pale to hear

The tale of peril he has run

 

We are at home we are at home

We are at home we are at home

 

Glory and love to the men of old

 

Their sons may copy their virtues bold

 

Courage in heart and a sword in hand

 

Ready to die for Fatherland

 

Or ready to fight or ready to die for Fatherland

Or ready to fight or ready to die

 

 

Or ready to die for Fatherland
