And bus

y in its bus

y streets,They hurried to and fro;

The children played a round them And sang the songs of yore,

[blocks in formation]

Send forth thy light to banish
The shadows of the shame,
Till all the civic virtues shine
Around our city's name.

4 A commonweal of brothers

United, great and small, Upon our banner blazoned be The charter, "Each for all!" Nor let us cease from battle, Nor weary sheathe the sword, Until this city is become The city of the Lord.

William George Tarrant

2 Not for battle-ships and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword,
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to thee, O Lord;
For the heritage of freedom,

For the home, the church, the school,

For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.

3 For the armies of the faithful

Lives that passed and left no name; For the glory that illumines

Patriot souls of deathless fame;

Copyright, by The Continent. By per.

For the people's prophet-leaders,
Loyal to thy living word, -
For all heroes of the spirit,

Give we thanks to thee, O Lord.

4 God of justice, save the people

From the war of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction, -
Make our nation free indeed;
Keep her faith in simple manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition

In the Brotherhood of Man!
William P. Merrill

2 Lo, dawns the new era, transcending the old,
The poet's rapt vision, by prophet foretold!
From War's grim tradition it maketh appeal
To service of all in a world's commonweal.
3 Home, altar and school, the mill and the mart,
The workers afield, in science, in art,

Peace-circled and sheltered, shall join to create
The manifold life of the firm-builded State.
4 Then, then shall the empire of right over wrong
Be shield to the weak and a curb to the strong;
Then justice prevail and, the battle-flags furled,
The High Court of Nations give law to the world.
5 And thou, O my Country, from many made one,
Last-born of the nations, at morning thy sun,
Arise to the place thou art given to fill,
And lead the world-triumph of peace and good-will!

He is tramp-ling out the vintage, where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath

loos'd the fate-ful lightning of his ter- ri- ble swift sword; His truth is marching on.
