March of the Templars: The Proud Templar Knights and Their Deus Vult Hymns

The proud order of Templars. Once the mighty champions of faith, they were betrayed by the same society they loved. Outlawed, persecuted, killed. Their ideals live on. “Three by three in line they come courteous men of tempiardom! Christtian men who’ve bowed the knee At the cross of Calvary. Each with dedicated sword to the glory of the Lord. Guarding still the faith they hold as was done in days of old. For their history trails away to the dark and bloody day When the Christians made their stand In the troubled Holy Land And the followers of the Christ Ruthlessly were sacrificed. There amid the inky gloom shown the Templar’s spotless plume. Now this need for strife has gone, Still the termplars follow on, Though their swords in silence sleep, Still beneath the glittering arch candidates for knighthood march, And by taper and by sword, Pledge allegiance to the Lord. Templars all, my hand I wave Be you steadfast, be you brave! Old the order! Old the need! For the valiant Christian deed Bigotry no more holds
