What faith he had, the Pioneer,
Who planted civilization here!
And how he wrought
And bravely fought
To chase the desert's frown away,
And make for us a better day!
What price he paid
That he might aid
Fair freedom and a home to win
And make a state worth living in.
We honor him,
Let nothing dim
The mem'ry of the Pioneer,
Unto the last we'll it dear!
