Winter Bridge with Some one must struggle that others may win and We are living, we are dwelling

Some one must struggle that others may win;
Some one the world’s better day must bring in;
Some one the work that is hardest must do-
Somebody must, brother! shall it be you?

Some one must carry the weaker one’s load;
Some one must blaze through the forest a road;
Some one must lead o’er the path that is new-
Somebody must, brother! shall it be you?

Some one must stand in the thick of the fight;
Some one must strike for the brave and the right;
Some one must die for the pure and the true-
Somebody must, brother! shall it be you?

Chorus
Somebody must!  Somebody must!
Do then your duty, in God be your trust;
Somebody must!  Somebody must!
Live like a hero, for somebody must.
               Jessie Brown Pounds

 (2 versions)

We are living, we are dwelling,
  In a grand and awful time;
In an age on ages telling,
  To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
  Gog and Magog to the fray:
Hark! what soundeth is creation’s
  Groaning for its latter day.

Worlds are charging, heaven beholding;
  Thou hast but an hour to fight;
Now, the blazoned cross unfolding,
  On, right onward, for the right!
On! let all the soul within you
  For the truth’s sake go abroad;
Strike! let every nerve and sinew
  Tell on ages, tell of God.
                         Bishop A. Cleveland Coxe

We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.

Hark the onset! will ye fold your
Faith clad arms in lazy lock?
Up! O up! thou drowsy soldier;
Worlds are charging to the shock.

Worlds are charging, heav’n beholding;
Thou hast but an hour to fight;
Now, the blazoned cross unfolding,
On! right onward, for the right.

On! let all the soul within you
For the truth’s sake go abroad;
Strike! let ev’ry nerve and sinew
Tell on ages-tell for God.
                     Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe
