I trace the rainbow thro' the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be. 4 O cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee.

Once to Every Man and Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 208 hymnals Topics: Walking with God Spiritual Conflict and Victory 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 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 prosp'rous 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.
