The Cause Is the Lord’s

By William Brickey

WILLIAM BRICKEY
WE are nearing, indeed, That sweet haven of peace: Shall we slacken our speed Now, or shall we increase? Let us strengthen each stake, Let us lengthen our cords; O my brother awake! For the cause is the Lord’s.
And this message must go To the ends of the earth. O, then, why be so slow To send messengers forth? Let the swift, lightning tongue Speak encouraging words To the old and the young; For the cause is the Lord’s.
All your silver and gold Is a gift from his hand; O then wherefore withhold Either houses or land? For this may be the test That his mercy affords; Let us all do our best, For the cause is the Lord’s.
Then my brother, arise In the strength of his might; Let us fight for the prize, Which is almost in sight. With our banners unfurled, With the foe we cross swords, Till ye conquer the world; For the cause is the Lord’s.
