Where Duty calls, go forward!
And dare to do the Right;
Hold high the flag of Truth and Love,
And strike with all your might!
Forward! God through Moses spoke
To Israel's trembling host—
Lo! watery gates were closed upon
The pride of Egypt's boast.
Be not afraid—in Duty's path—
Of famine, flood or foe;
As snow flakes falls the manna bread,—
From rocks sweet waters flow.
The lions which beset your path
Are shadows of a dream;
For opposites of Truth and Love,
Are never what they seem.
