By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, thy bleeding feet we track
Toiling up new Calv'ries ever with the cross that turns not back
New occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth
We must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth

'T was kin' o' kingdom-come to look On sech a blessed cretur.

This goin' ware glory waits ye haint one agreeable feetur.
