Are they clinging to their crossesA
F E SmithB
Where the Breton boat fleet tossesA
Are they SmithB
Do they fasting trembling bleedingC
Wait the news from this our cityD
Groaning That's the Second ReadingC
Hissing There is still CommitteeD
If the voice of Cecil faltersE
If McKenna's point has pithB
Do they tremble for their altarsE
Do they SmithB
-
Russian peasants round their popeF
Huddled SmithB
Hear about it all I hopeF
Don't they SmithB
In the mountain hamlets clothingC
Peaks beyond Caucasian palesG
Where Establishment means nothingC
And they never heard of WalesG
Do they read it all in HansardH
With a crib to read it withI
Welsh Tithes Dr Clifford answeredH
Really SmithB
-
In the lands where Christians wereJ
F E SmithB
In the little lands laid bareK
Smith O SmithB
Where the Turkish bands are busyD
And the Tory name is blessedL
Since they hailed the Cross of DizzyD
On the banners from the WestL
Men don't think it half so hard ifM
Islam burns their kin and kithB
Since a curate lives in CardiffM
Saved by SmithB
-
It would greatly I must ownN
Soothe me SmithB
If you left this theme aloneN
Holy SmithB
For your legal cause or civilO
You fight well and get your feeD
For your God or dream or devilO
You will answer not to meD
Talk about the pews and steeplesP
And the cash that goes therewithB
But the souls of Christian peoplesP
Chuck it SmithB
