Once to every man and nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 213 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 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. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, Toiling up new Calvaries 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. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 't is 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. Amen. Used With Tune: TON-Y-BOTEL

Lo, how its splendor challenges The souls that greatly dare— Yea, bids us seize the whole of life And build its glory there. Amen. Scripture: Revelation 21:2-4 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG
