Poems (Carter)/Our captain
OUR CAPTAIN.
Today the fight is on, and we must keep
Close to our Captain Who will all supply.
His eye gives courage, and His hand gives strength,
And then—tomorrow—cometh Victory!
So I will wait upon Thy will, O Captain!
And take from Thee my orders every day:
If Thou wilt give me courage, love, and patience
I still will follow where Thou show'st the way.
