Safe in the arms of knowledge, safe in the ark of God,
Sheltered in Truth's own keeping from evil's awful flood,—
Behind us the law and the prophets, before us the heaven to be,
Forward! Christian and Scientist, over the last Red Sea!
Mind is the force we tread on. Spirit the sword we wield,
The Bible Word our cannon on earth's grim battle field;
Wisdom and understanding our sentries by day and by night,—
Onward! Christian and Scientist, for victory is with the right!
We are nearing the doom of matter, we have passed to the latter years,
We have seen the earthquake and famine; let us see where the Christ appears;
He is healing the sick in the trenches, He is guiding the navies at sea,
Principle and not person! Lo, the dead are risen in Thee!
