Lyrics: Bouck White.
Tune: “Old Black Joe.”


The vict’ry comes; you can feel it in the air;
For triumph soon, let the comrades now prepare:
The Commonwealth wherein all shall have a share!
High on his throne, old Mammon trembles.
We shall win.

It’s coming; it’s coming;
See the good news pouring in!
A thousand comrade armies gath’ring:
We shall win.

Our banner waves: proudly greets the morning sun.
Its folds are red: out of workers’ fibers spun.
Still it shall float, when the day is o’er and done.
That banner bright proclaims to earth that
We shall win.

It’s coming; it’s coming;
See the good news pouring in!
A thousand comrade armies gath’ring:
We shall win.

The world-lings stare; hardly know they where to turn.
Dull-eyed they gaze, as the Light begins to burn.
These lessons new, they are slow of heart to learn.
The young of soul are with us eager.
We shall win.

It’s coming; it’s coming;
See the good news pouring in!
A thousand comrade armies gath’ring:
We shall win.

Maidens and youth and the children bright and gay
Seek the new light; from old darkness, turn away.
Springtime is here and the happy flowers of May;
Winter is past, the songbirds tell it.
We shall win.

It’s coming; it’s coming;
See the good news pouring in!
A thousand comrade armies gath’ring:
We shall win.
