WE PASS BUT ONCE.

We pass this way but once. There's work divine for thee; On every hand The needy stand, And sigh for sympathy.

We pass this way but once. In love's sweet accents tell Of constant joy Without alloy In hearts where Christ doth dwell.

We pass this way but once. Does life's sojourn seem drear? Then fill thy days With gladsome praise; God wills thy sojourn here.

We pass this way but once. Then truth's blest cause defend; With hero's might Stand for the right; 'Twill triumph in the end.

We pass this way but once. Live nobly while you may; Rising above Earth's groveling love, Seek realms of endless day.

We pass this way but once. Wage well thy warfare now; Beyond the strife Bright crowns of life Await the victor's brow.
