Oh, we are the Pathfinders strong,

A message to tell to the world,
A truth that will set us free
King Jesus the Savior's coming back
For you and me.

Rally to the throbbing drum
Shout the word, we come, we come

Chorus: Christ before us, Christ behind
Christ on every side
For the rescue of mankind, unto glory ride
AYM! AYM! AYM!
