Do You Hear the Women Praying?
Rise and assert the man hood of this nation,
Its courage, honor, might,—
Wipe off the dust of our humiliation,—
Dare nobly to do right!
Shall women plead from out the dust forever?
Will you not work, men, if you cannot pray ?
Hold up their suppliant hands with your endeavor,
And seize the world's salvation while you may?
Its courage, honor, might,—
Wipe off the dust of our humiliation,—
Dare nobly to do right!
Shall women plead from out the dust forever?
Will you not work, men, if you cannot pray ?
Hold up their suppliant hands with your endeavor,
And seize the world's salvation while you may?
Yes, from the Eastern to the Western ocean
The sound of prayer is heard;
And in our hearts great billows of emotion
At every breath are stirred,
From mountain tops of prayer down to Sin's valley
The voice of woman sounds the cry, "Come up:"
O men and brother's, heed that cry, and rally—
Death to the fiend that lurks within the cup!
The sound of prayer is heard;
And in our hearts great billows of emotion
At every breath are stirred,
From mountain tops of prayer down to Sin's valley
The voice of woman sounds the cry, "Come up:"
O men and brother's, heed that cry, and rally—
Death to the fiend that lurks within the cup!
