The Gallant 21st 

As those honored stripes on our Union Jack 
Stretch open o’er its face, 
They’re beckoning arms to call us back 
And the Empire’s need embrace. 
Swiftly to arms rise the 21st, 
They spring to the bugle’s call, 
Ready to fight on the firing line, 
Where their Standard shall never fall. 

Chorus 
From North and South, from East and West, 
Canada sends her best, 
To pay her debt to the Empire’s needs, 
With gallant life and deeds 

On the honor roll of our history’s page 
They will swell the khaki line, 
Claiming a share on that great page 
Where Britain’s victories shine; 
They’ll show Canadians will never budge, 
They’ll fight to the last and stand, 
Till victory comes to the 21st 
And the dear old Motherland
