<p>Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,<br>
|
|
Move the faithful spirits, at the call divine;<br>
|
|
Gifts in different measure, hearts of one accord,<br>
|
|
Manifold the service, one the sure reward.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Forward through the ages, in unbroken line<br>
|
|
Move the faithful spirits at the call divine.</p>
|
|
<p>Wider grows the kingdom, reign of love and light;<br>
|
|
For it we must labor, till our faith is sight.<br>
|
|
Prophets have proclaimed it, martyrs testified.<br>
|
|
Poets sung its glory, heroes for it died.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Not alone we conquer, not alone we fall;<br>
|
|
In each loss or triumph lose or triumph all.<br>
|
|
Bound by God’s far purpose in one living whole,<br>
|
|
Move we on together to the shining goal.</p>
