We are living, we are dwelling

Author: Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Social Progress Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling In a grand and awful time, In an age on ages telling; To be living is sublime. Hark! the waking up of nations, Hosts advancing to the fray; Hark! what soundeth is creation's Groaning for the latter day. 2 Will ye play, then? will ye dally Far behind the battle line? Up! it is Jehovah's rally; God's own arm hath need of thine. Worlds are charging, heaven beholding; Thou hast but an hour to fight; Now, the blazoned cross unfolding, On, right onward for the right! 3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never; Consecrated, born again; Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever, O for Christ at least be men! O let all the soul within you For the truth's sake go abroad! Strike! let every nerve and sinew Tell on ages, tell for God. Amen. Used With Tune: BLAENHAFREN
