GOD SAVE THE PEOPLE.

\\"hen wilt Thou save th e people?
0 Goel of mercy, when'/
Kot kin gs and lord s, but nations,
Not thron es and c rowns, but me n.
Flow'rs of Thy h ea rt, O Goel, are th ey,
Let them not Pass like weeds a way,
Let th em not fad e in sunless day,
Goel save the peopl e.

Shall crillle bring crime foreym•,
Strength aiding s lill th e stron g?
ls it Thy will, 0 Father,
That lll en shall toil for wrong?
"' No!" say th e mo11ntains ; "No!" th e sides;
"Man's clouded s un shall brig;htly rise,
And so ngs be h ea rd instead of sighs."
God save the peo pl e.

Wh en wilt Thou save th e 11eople ?
0 God of mercy, when?
Th e people, Lord, th e peo pl e ,
Not thron es and crowns, but me n.
God save th e veople, 'fhin e th ey are;
Thy children, as Thy ange ls fair,
Save th e m from bondage and des pair.
God save the peo1il e.
-Ebenezer E lli ott.
A FORD HALL HYMN.

Com e from many s und er ed races,
'iVe from all the lands of earth,
Turn our sunrise-lifted faces
Toward a whole world's glad r ebirth.
Thou, great Spirit, who, existent
Under many nam e s, a rt Goel,
Hear 011r footsteps, still pe rs is tent
In th e Paths Thy proph ets trocl.

One in passionat e des ire,
On e in ri ght eous wrath at wron g,
· Thrill ed by sacrificial fir e,
Here we lift to Th ee 011r song.
Speed the daw n, so long ex 11 ected,
Herald of the common good,Justice fr ee and r es urrec te d,
O11r triumphant broth erhood.
- Miriam All en deFonl.

0 GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR

(To the music o( "Webb")
From nil that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord.'

. O God or earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls or gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not Thy thunder from us,
But take a way our pride.

Tie In 'a living tether
The priest and prince and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us nnd save us all;
In Ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up n living nation,
A single sword lo Thee.
-G

HAIL THE GLORIOUS GOLDEN Cll Y

(To the mu ~ic o f "Au stria")

Hail the glorious Gold en City,
Pictured by th e s eers of old!
Everlasting light shines o'er it,
Wo1idrous tales of it are told:
Only righteous men and women
Dwell within its gleaming wall;
Wrong Is banished from its bord ers,
Justice reigns supreme o'er all.

We are builders of that city;
All our joys and all our groans
Help to rear its shining ramparts;
All our lives are bulldlng stones :
Whether humble or exalted,
All are ca lled to task divin e ;
All must aid alike to carry
Forward one sublime design.

And th e work that we have bullded,
Oft with bleeding hands and tears,
And In error and in anguish,
Will not perish with our years;
It will last and shine transfigured
In the final r eign of Right
It will m erge Into the splendors
Of th e City of th e Light.
-Felix Adler, 1909.
ONWARD, FAITHFUL COMRADES

Onward, faithful comrades,
Rest not in th e fray
Till th e· li ght be fore us
Breaks in glorious clay;
Ignoranc e dark is fading,
"S coffers s tay to pray,"
Truth and ri ght dir ect th e tight ancl
Lead the better way.

S elfishness must pe rish ,
, , rong will strive in vain,
v
For lov e's blessed kingdom
Evermore shall r eign;
Brotherhood our watchword ,
Mi g hty is its powe r,
For it alms to h elp us all :ind
BleRsings on us shower.

l\li ghty ho s ts ar e coming,
Vict'1-y's flag unfurl ed,
Brothe r s tru e uniting,
Conqu e rors of th e world;
Unju s t claims denyin g,
l\Tammon 's pow 'r must fall,
Truth and ju s tic e wrong defying,
Com fort, joy For n II.

Forward, th en , all peopl e,
Join our earnest thron g,
Bl end with ours your voic es,
ln trium11hant son g ;
li'ollow thu s our L ead er,
'fruth all h earts en s hrine,
Fill the earth with trnth and mirth , all
H earts with joy divin e.
Choras.

Onwanl , faith[nl comrade s,
n r.s t not in th e fn1r ,
Till th e li ght be for e us
nrea ks in glorious day!
