LyicsWE ARE living, we are dwelling
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.
Hark the onset! will ye fold your
Faith-clad arms in lazy lock?
Up! O up! thou drowsy soldier;
Worlds are charging to the shock.
Worlds are charging, heaven beholding,
Thou hast but an hour to fight;
Now, the blazoned cross unfolding,
On! right onward for the right.
On! let all the soul within you
For the truth's sake go abroad;
Strike! let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages-tell for God!
