It is stage by stage to the golden age

Author: Walter Hawkins, 1857- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #612 (1917) Topics: Children Hope of the future First Line: The future belongs to the children Lyrics: 1 The future belongs to the children, Though much to the past we owe, Though much may be done in the present; We stay when the old people go. The vision God gave to our fathers Is coming to us in our turn; And at the first gleam of its splendor Our hearts are beginning to burn. Refrain: It is stage by stage to the golden age, To the golden age, It is stage by stage to the golden age, Far off we seem to view it; But the good we crave wilt come to the brave Who see God's will and do it. 2 Around us are wrongs and misdoings, And struggle, and suff'ring, and woe; The helpless are needing a champion, The tempted are pressed by the foe; And children are foully neglected, They even are thrust into sin; And the knights of the good Lord Jesus Have many a battle to win. [Refrain] 3 The promise belongs to the children, Saith One who is faithful and true A promise of welfare and blessing, Which God to the young doth renew: Its glimmer is cleaving the darkness; We know that the day is begun; And cloudland is tinged with the glory That tells of the might of the sun. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GOLDEN AGE
