Speak at length the final word, Usher in the tri-umph hour. A-MEN.

2 As it came in days of old,

In the deepest hearts of men, When Thy martyrs died for Thee, Let it come, O God, again. 3 Break, triumphant day of God!

Break at last, our hearts to cheer;

Throbbing souls and holy songs Wait to hail Thy dawning here. 4 Empires, temples, sceptres, thrones; May they all for God be won; And, in every human heart, Father, let Thy kingdom come. John Page Hopps

2 'Twas but far off, in vision,
The fathers' eyes could see
The glory of the kingdom,

The better time to be.
To-day we see fulfilling

The dreams they dreamt of old;
While nearer, ever nearer,
Rolls on the age of gold.

3 With trust in God's free spirit,
The ever-broadening ray
Of truth that shines to guide us
Along our forward way,
Let us to-day be faithful

As were the brave of old,
Till we, their work completing,
Bring in the age of gold!

2 "In this sign we conquer; " 'tis the symbol of our faith,
Made holy by the might of love triumphant over death;
"He finds his life who loseth it," for evermore it saith:
The right is marching on!

3 The earth is circling onward out of shadow into light;
The stars keep watch above our way, however dark the night;
For every martyr's stripe there glows a bar of morning bright,
And love is marching on!

5 Lead on, O cross of martyr faith, with thee is victory;

Shine forth, O stars and reddening dawn, the full day yet shall be;
On earth His kingdom cometh, and with joy our eyes shall see;
Our God is marching on.
