And they must be ready,
Their hands must be steady,
If the hosts of hell come nigh -
They must be ready.
If Jesus were back on the earth with men,
He would not preach to-day
Until He had made Him a scourge, and again
He would drive the defilers away.
He would throw down the tables of lust and greed
And scatter the changers' gold.
He would be ready,
His hand would be steady,
As it was in that temple of old -
He would be ready.
I am the cradle of God's new world,
From me shall the new race rise,
And my glorious banner must float unfurled,
Unsullied against the skies.
My sons and daughters must be my strength,
With courage to do and to dare,
With hearts that are ready,
With hands that are steady,
And their slogan must be, PREPARE! -
They must be ready!
With a prayer on the lip they must shoulder arms,
For after all has been said,
We must muster guns,
If we master Huns -
AND ATTILA IS NOT DEAD -
We must be ready!
WAR MOTHERS
There is something in the sound of drum and fife
That stirs all the savage instincts into life.
In the old times of peace we went our ways,
Through proper days
Of little joys and tasks.
