Dark was the world when from the bowers	A
Of forfeit Eden man went forth	B
With aching heart and blighted powers	A
To till the sterile soil of earth	C
Yet even then a glimmering light	D
Faintly illumed the eastern skies	E
And struggling through the mists of night	D
Beamed soft on Abel's sacrifice	F
	-
It shone on Abram's eager eyes	E
Upon Moriah's lonely height	D
And Jacob 'neath the midnight skies	E
In hallowed dreams beheld its light	D
And o'er Arabia's desert sand	G
Where weary Israel wandered on	H
In doubt and fear toward Canaan's land	G
The hallowed dawning brighter shone	I
	-
Ages roll on 'mid deep'ning day	J
And prophet bard and holy seer	K
Watch eagerly the kindling ray	J
To see the blessed sun appear	L
Watch till along the mountain heights	M
The long expected radiance streams	N
And lo a bloody Cross it lights	M
And o'er a blood stained victim gleams	N
	-
And higher climbed the rising sun	O
And brighter glowed the joyous day	J
And Earth the bowed and weary one	O
Kindled beneath the blessed ray	J
A little while then dense and drear	J
Back rolled the heavy clouds of night	D
Till through the murky atmosphere	J
Scarce stole a single gleam of light	D
	-
Then Superstition piled her fires	A
With slaughtered saints and dungeons lone	I
Echoed the tortured victims' prayers	P
The stifled shriek the smothered groan	I
Yet ever Truth through blood and tears	P
Pursued her dark tempestuous way	J
And Faith illumed those stormy years	Q
With promises of brighter day	J
	-
It came at last through parted clouds	R
The blessed sunlight burst once more	J
And a broad flood of glory swept	S
O'er vale and plain o'er sea and shore	J
Earth from her wildering dream of tears	P
And blood and anguish guilt and wrong	T
The long dark troubled dream of years	Q
Awoke and once again was strong	T
	-
Then crumbled thrones then empires fell	U
As Science Freedom Truth arose	V
And shaking off their numbing spell	U
Closed in stern conflict with their foes	V
And onward still with unbowed head	W
Faith's dauntless legions held their way	J
Marking with heaps of martyred dead	W
The pathway that behind them lay	J
	-
And still that steady march is on	H
Through storm and gloom through strife and tears	P
Still Faith points upward to the sun	O
Whose glories brighten with the years	Q
Whose steady light and heat at length	X
Shall scatter every cloud away	J
And Truth majestic in her strength	X
Shall stand complete in perfect day	J
