Excerpt from The Way: A Devotional Book for Boys
Give us Men!
Give us Men!
Men - from every rank,
Fresh and free and frank;
Men of thought and reading,
Men of light and leading,
Men of loyal breeding,
The Nation"s welfare speeding:
Men of faith and not of fiction,
Men of lofty aim in action:
Give us Men - I say again,
Give us Men!
Give us Men!
Strong and stalwart ones:
Men whom highest hope inspires,
Men whom purest honor fires,
Men who trample Self beneath them,
Men who make their country wreath them
As her noble sons,
Worthy of their sires,
Men who never shame their mothers,
Men who never fail their brothers,
True, however false are others:
Give us Men - I say again,
Give us Men!
Give us Men!
Men who, when the tempest gathers,
Grasp the Standard of their fathers
In the thickest fight:
Men who strike for home and altar,
(Let the coward cringe and falter)
God defend the right!
True as truth though lorn and lonely,
Tender, as the brave are only;
Men who tread where saints have trod,
Men for Country - Home - and God:
Give us Men! I say again - again -
Give us such Men!
Bishop of Exeter.
