Lyrics: Bouck White.
Tune: Bouck White.
Lo, our secret we gladly tell:
Boldness and joy and zeal!
Thus, we conquer o’er gates of hell:
Boldness and joy and zeal!
Socialism’s beauty
Teaches faith and duty.
List to the call! Offer to all:
Boldness and joy and zeal.
Matrons and men, sing it again:
Boldness and joy and zeal.
Ye who languish your lives away,
Boldness and joy and zeal,
Come; your darkness we’ll turn to day,
Boldness and joy and zeal.
Message high and holy;
Rescue of the lowly.
List to the call! Offer to all:
Boldness and joy and zeal.
Matrons and men, sing it again:
Boldness and joy and zeal.
Comrades, blaze it afar and near,
Boldness and joy and zeal!
Revolution that knows no fear,
Boldness and joy and zeal.
Ours a high endeavor;
Turning back, no, never.
List to the call! Offer to all:
Boldness and joy and zeal.
Matrons and men, sing it again:
Boldness and joy and zeal.
