Unto the heroes dead:

Gather your cleaning gold.

Lift up your brother man:
He is Gods living statue;
Perfect him, We who can.

Better than gold or glory.
Grander than rank or fame.
Man is the sin-marred statue.
Waiting the sculptor, Love;
WHY do we play with marble:
Lift man to heights above.
Carve with your gold his honor;
Break with your hand the rod,
Driving his soul TO demons;
Lift ND mankind 10 God.

Charge you with your high task.
Love to mankind they died for;
