"to be crucified with me?"
"Yea," the sturdy dreamers answered,
"to the death we follow thee."
[Refrain:]
"Lord, we are able." Our spirits are thine.
Remold them, make us, like thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
a beacon to God, to love, and loyalty.
2 "Are ye able" to remember,
when a thief lifts up his eyes,
that his pardoned soul is worthy
of a place in paradise? [Refrain]
3 "Are ye able" when the shadows
close around you with the sod,
to believe that spirit triumphs,
to commend your soul to God? [Refrain]
4 "Are ye able?" Still the Master
whispers down eternity,
and heroic spirits answer,
now as then in Galilee. [Refrain] Used With Tune: BEACON HILL
"Are Ye Able," Said the Master
