Vexillum




Battle Hymn of the Legion of Mary

Our eyes have seen the glory of the rising of the dawn; She is lovely as the moon and she is brilliant as the son; More awesome than the armies all the world has gazed upon; Her Legion Marches on. (Chorus)

 Chorus: All is in the hand of Mary. In the mighty hand of Mary. All is in the hand of Mary. Her Legion Marches on

 In the member’s daily building of the Body of the Lord; In the effort of the envoy off in country unexplored; In the courage of the martyr facing prison or the sword; Her spirit marches on.  (Chorus)

We will forge ahead united with her standard high unfurled; We will follow her to battle for the conquest of the world; We will fight til every evil to the depth of hell is hurled; Our Legion marches on. (Chorus).
