God! though all other sins on earth persist,
Strike dumb the blatant, loud-mouthed atheist.
THE RAINBOW OF PROMISE
In the face of the sun are great thunderbolts hurled,
And the storm-clouds have shut out its light;
But a Rainbow of Promise now shines on the world,
And the universe thrills at the sight.
’Tis the flag of our Union, the red, white, and blue,
Our Star-spangled Banner—our pride;
Fair symbol of all that is noble and true,
Flung out over continents wide.
Flung out in its glory o’er land and o’er sea,
With a message from God in each star;
And a glorious promise of peace yet to be
In the fluttering folds of each bar.
A Rainbow of Promise, bright emblem of hope,
Fair flag of each cause that is just;
No longer in doubt or in darkness we grope—
In the Star-spangled Banner we trust.
THEY SHALL NOT WIN
Whatever the strength of our foes is now,
Whatever it may have been,
This is our slogan, and this our vow—
They shall not win, they shall not win.
Though out of the darkness they call the aid
Of the evil forces of Sin,
We utter our slogan unafraid—
They shall not win, they shall not win.
We know we are right, and know they are wrong,
So to God above and within—
We make our vow and we sing our song
They shall not win, they shall not win.
