There'san emblem fair that is known to all, A sigh to help us through,
There'san emblem fair that is known to all, A sigh to help us through,
It stands for strengthand it stands for right, An- chor tried and ture.
The em-blem of The Boy'Brigade It helps us on our way,
Our fa-ther's knew in days gone by This sign we know to-day
"sure and sted-fast" The Brigade Boy's motto clear
That's our watch word when trouble and trials are near
"sure and sted-fast" to the flag that flies a-bove
In all that we do we'll try to be true To the An-chor that we love.

1. Great God,Who knowest all our need,Bless Thou our watch, and guard our sleep;
Forgive our sins of thought and deed,And in Thy peace Thy servants keep.
2. We thank Thee of the day that's done,We trust Thee for the day to be;
Thy love we learn in Christ Thy Son, O may we all His glory see. Amen
