The spirit of Stonewall Jackson,
Great soldier of the South,
Who never quailed,
Nor ever failed
By stride, or guiding mouth.
He armored strength with fury;
He weaponed faith with flame;
And every man that followed him
A similar man became.
Charge, and remember Jackson!
His Soul is Captain still —
The fighting Stonewall Jackson,
The Hero of Chancellorsville.
The spirit of Stonewall Jackson,
Great soldier of the Church,
Who never fought,
Nor ever wrought,
Leaving Truth in the lurch.
He blazoned force with reverence;
He bannered hope with prayer;
And every man that followed him
A sacred fealty sware.
Charge, and remember Jackson!
His Soul is Captain still —
The fighting Stonewall Jackson,
The praying Stonewall Jackson,
The Hero of Chancellorsville.
The spirit of Stonewall Jackson,
Great soldier of the sky,
Who never feared,
Nor ever veered
From Heaven's all-searching eye.
He garnished power with vision;
He gloried love with death;
And every man that followed him
Breathed Duty's martyr breath.
Charge, and remember Jackson!
His Soul is Captain still —
The fighting Stonewall Jackson,
The praying Stonewall Jackson,
The deathless Stonewall Jackson,
The Hero of Chancellorsville.
