By toil

and tears and faith allied, And suffering and song. A-MEN.

The day of growing brother - hood Breaks on Our ea

[blocks in formation]

And hu man hatreds flee

before The radiant Eastern skies. A-MEN.

2 For what are sundering strains of blood,
Or ancient caste and creed?
One claim unites all men in God
To serve each human need.
Then here together, brother men,
We pledge the Lord anew
Our loyal love, our stalwart faith,
Our service strong and true.

3 One common faith unites us all,
We seek one common goal,
One tender comfort broods upon
The struggling human soul.
To this clear call of brotherhood
Our hearts responsive ring;
We join the glorious new crusade
Of our great Lord and King.

Not kings and lords, but na tions, Not thrones and crowns,but men.

Flowers of thy heart, O God, are they, Let them not pass like weeds a way,

With success on earth re-ward-ed: God speed the right! God speed the right!

*

2 Be that prayer again repeated,
God speed the right!

Ne'er despairing, though defeated,
God speed the right!

Like the good and great in story,
If we fail, we fail with glory:
God speed the right!

3 Patient, firm, and persevering,

God speed the right!

Ne'er the event nor danger fearing,

God speed the right!

Pains, nor toils, nor trials heeding,
And in heaven's time succeeding,
God speed the right!

4 Still our onward course pursuing,
God speed the right!

Every foe at length subduing,

God speed the right!

Truth our cause, whate'er delay it,

There's no power on earth can stay it;

God speed the right!

A-MEN.

In

the strife of truth with false-hood, For the good or e vil side;

Some great cause, God's new Mes si ah, Of-f'ring each the bloom or

blight,

And the choice goes by for ever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. A-MEN.

2 Then to side with truth is noble,

When we share her wretched crust Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses, While the coward stands aside Till the multitude make virtue

Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs Jesus' bleeding feet I track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever

With the cross that turns not back;

New occasions teach new duties,

Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,

Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,

And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above his own.
James Russell Lowell, arr.
