THE NATION BUILDERS
Till the land that lies like a giant asleep shall wake
to the victory won,
And the hearts of the Nation Builders shall know
that the work is done.

We are but the hands of the Builder, who toileth and
frameth afar;
System, and order, and sequence; sun, and planet,
and star–
Faint sparks of a Mighty Genius, a breath of the
Over Soul,
Who shapes the thought of the workers wherever his
worlds may roll.
On! tho' we grope and blunder, the trend of our aim
is true!
On! there is death in dalliance whilst yet there is
work to do,
Till the land that lies like a giant asleep shall wake to
the victory won,
And the eyes of the Master Worker shall see that the
work is done.
