0 GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR

(To the music of "Vve bb")
0 God of earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
'l'ake not Thy thund er from us,
But take away our pride.

l

From all that terror teaches,
li'rom li es of tongue and pen,
From all th e easy s peech es
'l'ha t comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and l11 e sword,
From s lee p and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord .

. 'l'ie in a living tether
'l'he priest and prince and thrall,
Bind all our liv es together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a Ii ving · nation,
A single sword to 'l'hee.
- G. IC Chesterton.
AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL

0 beautiful for spacious skies, .
For amb er wav es of grain,
For purple mountain maj es ti es
Above the fruit e d plain!
America! · America!
God shed His grace on th ee,
And c1·own thy good with broth e rhood
li:rom sea to shining sea!

0 beautiful for glorious tale
Of libe rating strife,
\Vhen valiantly, for man's avail,
Me n lavish ed precious life!
Americ.f! America!
I\rfay God thy gold retiu e,
Till all success be nobl e ness,
Ancl,_ev'ry gain divin e !

0 bea utiful for pilgriri1 feet,
\Vhose stern, i!'n passion ed stress,
A thoroughfarii for fr ee(lom bea t
Across th e wild e rn ess !
America! America!
God m e nd thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in sel!-control,
Thy liberty in law!

0 bea utiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thin e alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tea rs!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
Aud crowu [hy good with brothe rhood .
From sea lo shiniug sea!
- Katherine Lee .Bates.

THE CALL OF LIFE

W e seek th e good those ,1ltars held,
Yel r ea <l th e ir message clear,
To loyally r oceJ ve th e light
God se nds us now and here.
Witi1in thes e walls may worship flll
Our waitii'1g souls' an ew.
A 11rese nl help within our lives
To make th e m pure and tru e.

Like stars upou a troubled sea
Shine out the allars fair,
Wh e re longings of the centuries
Have voiced th e mselv es in pra ye r.
A guide to tempt ed, waudering heart s ,
A streugth in sorrow's hour,
A peace within the common liv es
They touch ed with holy power.

Eternal Life, whose lov e divine
Enfolds us each and all,
W e know no other lrnlh than thin e,
W e h eed no oth e r call.
0 may we serve in thought and d eed
Thy kin gdom yet lo he,
When trnth and righteousness and lov e
Shall lea d all so uls to th ee.

Th e dawn of lib e rty!

a Baptist and

Order," Dr. Vedder is at the head of the History
Department in Crozer Theological Seminary, but
he relates with pride that his forbears for six
generations were Dutch and Yankee farmers, with
never a college-bred man among them, He himself paid his college expenses by working at his
father's trade of carril%e-trimmer. The right
kind of man for Ford Hall!
