Classic Poem

It was not warning that our fathers lacked,
It is not warning that we lack today.
The Voice that cried still cries: " Rise up and act:
Watch alway, — watch and pray, — watch alway, — All men. "

Alas, if aught was lacked goodwill was lacked;
Alas, goodwill is what we lack today.
O gracious Voice, grant grace that all may act,
Watch and act, — watch and pray, — watch alway. — Amen.
