For text within the image, you will need to create some text on a 
transparent background (automatically sized to pointsize desired or 
width) using label: or caption:, then composite the text image over 
the background image.

see
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/
and
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compose/

Or if you know exactly where you want the text added, you can use 
-annotate or -draw

see
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/
and
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/annotating/

if you just want to add a label outside the bounds of the image, you 
can use montage -label

see
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#label

These can be done in a loop.
