Close up the ranks my comrades,
Hear ye not the trumpets' call?
Fear not, for God is with thee,
His strength and power are all.
The prophet has arisen,
To call the remnant home;
Their frankincense they're bringing,—
From distant lands they come.
Now look well to this temple,
That is building day by day;
Let the stones be well cemented,
Let the work be honest, pray.
Love God and hold your places.
However long and strong
The battle rages round you;
Never falter or go wrong.
The conflict will be fiercest,
Where the work is ablestdone,
But Principle will keep you,
If you live, "Thy will be done."
