NEW DUTY.

 Once to God we owed it all,—

God alone;

Bowing in eternal thrall¹,

Giving, sacrificing all,

Before the Throne.

Once we owed it to the King,—

Served the crown;

Life, and love, and everything,

In allegiance to the King,

Laying down.

Now we owe it to Mankind,—

To our Race;

Fullest fruit of soul and mind,

Heart and hand and all behind,

Now in place.

Loving-service, wide and free,

From the sod

Up in varying degree,

Through me and you—through you and me—

Up to God!
