Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #376 (1957) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some new decision,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 By the light of burning martyrs,
Jesus' bleeding feet I track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
3 Tho' the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Tho' her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own.
Amen. Scripture: Joshua 24:15 Tune Title: TON-Y-BOTEL

Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth and falsehood,

Who would keep abreast of truth.
3 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet the truth alone is strong,

Wrong forever on the throne.

And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own. Topics: Courage; Justice; Memorial Occasions; Nation; Truth; Service Scripture: 1 Kings 18:21 Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER

Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #470 (1991) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. Once to ev'ry man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some great decision,
Off'ring each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever;
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2. Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3. By the light of burning martyrs,
Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calv'ries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Ancient values test our youth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4. Tho' the cause of evil prosper,
Yet the truth alone is strong:
Tho' her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong:
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above His own. Scripture: Joshua 24:15 Languages: English Tune Title: BEECHER
