Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide
In the strife of truth with falsehood
For the good or evil side
Some great cause, God's new Messiah
Offering each the bloom or blight
And the choice goes by forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light
ย
By the light of burning martyrs
Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track
Toiling up new Calv'ries 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
ย
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
ย
Above His own
