Sovereigns of ultimate issues under the greater laws, Theirs was the mystic mission of the eternal cause;
Confident, tender, courageous, leaving the low for the higher, Lifting the feet of the nations out of the dust and the mire;
Luring civilization on to the fair and new, Given God's bidding to follow, having God's business to do.
