The Responsibilities of the Age.We are living, we are dwelling, In a grand and awful time, In an age on ages telling; To be living is sublime. 2 Hark the onset! will ye fold your Faith-clad arms in lazy lock? Up! O up! thou drowsy soldier; Worlds are charging to the shock. 3 Worlds are charging, heav'n beholding; Thou hast but an hour to fight; Now, the blazoned cross unfolding, On! right onward for the right. 4 On! let all the soul within you For the truth's sake go abroad; Strike! let ev'ry nerve and sinew Tell on ages -- tell for God. Bp. Arthur Cleveland Coxe, 1840.
