Lyrics
-
1. They, the builders of the nation,Blazing trails along the way;Stepping-stones for generationsWere their deeds of ev'ry day.Building new and firm foundations,Pushing on the wild frontier,Forging onward, ever onward,Blessed, honored Pioneer!
-
2. Service ever was their watchcry;Love became their guiding star;Courage, their unfailing beacon,Radiating near and far.Ev'ry day some burden lifted,Ev'ry day some heart to cheer,Ev'ry day some hope the brighter,Blessed, honored Pioneer!
-
3. As an ensign to the nation,They unfurled the flag of truth,Pillar, guide, and inspirationTo the hosts of waiting youth.Honor, praise, and venerationTo the founders we revere!List our song of adoration,Blessed, honored Pioneer!
