For love of Thee, And by Thy grace enduring, They fought of old the goodly fight, Our larger life ensuring; For Thee with soul of sacrifice Iniquity assailing, They did Thy work, they wrought Thy will, And left Thy cross prevailing. 2 Lord Jesus Christ! For love of Thee, With that same grace inspiring, We take Thy banner from their hands, To higher deeds aspiring; For Thee we front the force of sin, With faith and hope unfailing, Grant us our fathers' blessing still, To see Thy cross prevailing. 3 Lord Jesus Christ! For love of Thee, With that same grace sustaining, Behind us march our eager sons, Each tempting truce disdaining: For Thee with flashing eyes they move, Thy future glory hailing, O, let them win the golden dream, And see Thy cross prevailing.
