The Rifle Recruiting Call

Arm! Brothers, arm!
   With willing heart and hand;
Arm! Brothers, arm!
   For love of native land.
Arm! Brothers, arm!
   At honour's trumpet call;
Let your glorious motto be
   All for one, and one for all!

CHORUS:  Then arm! Brothers, arm!
            At honour's glorious call;
         Then arm! Brothers, arm!
            All for one and one for all!

Arm! Brothers, arm!
   To prove the patriot's part;
To light heroic fires,
   In every British heart.
And that right may be might,
   Prepare to stand or fall;
Let your glorious motto be
   All for one, and one for all!

Arm! Brothers, arm!
   With heart, and soul, and will;
Come like streams dashing forth
   From city, glen, and hill;
And when fame crowns your name,
   And mighty deeds recall
Let your glorious motto be
   All for one, and one for all!
