CAME THE WHISPER, CAME THE VISION.

Came the Whisper, came the Vision, came the Power with the Need,

Till the Soul that is not man’s soul was lent us to lead.

A SONG OF THE ENGLISH

Fair is our lot—O goodly is our heritage!
(Humble ye, my people, and be fearful in your mirth!)
For the Lord our God Most High
He hath made the deep as dry,
He hath smote for us a pathway to the ends of all the Earth!
