Forward, sons of morning,
With a sacred ire!
Lead ye, like Jehovah,
In a pillar of fire.
With a sacred ire!
Lead ye, like Jehovah,
In a pillar of fire.
Through the dreary desert,
Through the burning sand
Till, on shores of promise
And of peace, ye land.
Through the burning sand
Till, on shores of promise
And of peace, ye land.
Where a purer people,
Led by laws innate,
Shall, towards the heavens,
Tower in grander state.
Led by laws innate,
Shall, towards the heavens,
Tower in grander state.
Breathe and blow in music;
On, from clime to clime;
Baptize, with the Holy Ghost
Spirit of the time.
