The old year�s long
campaign is o�er;
Behold a new begun;
Not yet is closed the holy war,
Not yet the triumph won.
Out of its still and deep repose
We hear the old year say,
�Go forth again to meet your foes,
Ye children of the day�
�Go forth, firm faith in every heart,
Bright hope on every helm,
Through that shall
pierce no fiery dart,
And this no fear o�erwhelm :
Go in the spirit and the might
Of Him who led the way;
Close with the legions of the night,
Ye children of the day.�
So forth we go to meet the strife,
We will not fear nor fly;
We love the holy warrior�s life,
His death we hope to die:
We slumber not,
that charge in view,
�Toil on, while toil ye may,
Then night shall be no night to you,
Ye children of the day.�
Lord God, our glory, Three in One,
Thine own sustain, defend;
And give, though dim
this earthly sun,
Thy true light to the end,
Till morning tread
the darkness down,
And night be swept away,
And never-ending triumph crown
The children of the day.
