Braving the wilds all unexplored

Author: Rev. Robert Freeman Meter: 8.8.8.10.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Braving the wilds all unexplored, Dreamers of dreams and pioneers, Wielding the sickle, goad, and sword, They marched with the sun to the last frontiers— God of the valiant, grant that we, Their sons, do follow valiantly! 2 Fair knights of justice and of good, They gave to evil battle gage; Bearing their souls in rectitude, They left a goodly heritage— God of the righteous, grant that we, Their sons, do follow righteously! 3 Guards of the sacred altar flame, Bringers of learning and of faith, They lumined life in the blessed Name, And hope they flared in the day of death— God of the faithful, grant that we, Their sons, do follow faithfully! 4 Theirs was the Presence ever sure, Theirs was the all-abounding grace, Theirs was the passion ever pure To honor the Lord in all their ways— God of the Christ-like, grant that we Do follow, follow worthily! Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The Nation; Conflict With Sin; Country, our; Memorial Days; Missions; Nation, The Used With Tune: MARCUS WHITMAN
