Battle Hymn of the Legion

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) 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. 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.

The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the of the people you see in your Legion of Mary work, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed, nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts. For theirs is a community composed of men. United in Christ, they are led by the Holy Spirit in their journey to the Kingdom of their Father and they have welcomed the news of salvation which is meant for every man. All knowledge that does not have Love as its end is useless.
