God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line,
Beneath whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—

The captains and the kings depart—
Still stands Thine ancient Sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.

And the world is all at our feet.

The deer to the wholesome wold;
And the heart of a man to the heart of a maid,
As it was in the days of old.

They change their skies above them,
But not their hearts that roam!
