Once to Every Man and Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 213 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness of Sins Invitation and Call First Line: Once to ev'ry man and nation 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, some great decision, off'ring each the bloom or blight, and the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, when we share her wretched crust, ere her cause bring frame and profit, and 'tis prosp'rous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses while the coward stands aside, till the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied. 3 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; ancient values test our youth. They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the 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. Scripture: Joshua 24:14-15 Used With Tune: EBENEZER

By Thy mercies, Savior, may we hear Thy call; give our hearts to Thine obedience, serve and love Thee best of all. Scripture: Matthew 4:17 Used With Tune: GALILEE
