In tongues of flame the message came
To the women on their knees;
To the fathers of New England,
To the bold men of the Bay,
Who lodged in the lair of the wolf and the bear,

And the red man fierce as they;
And the grave young scholar hearkened
To the Master's high behest
As he watched the day fly far away
To the darkness of the west.
And westward still he watches,
The width of our wide land,
As he sits alone on a pillar of stone
With his Bible in his hand.
Be it mountain, lake, or prairie,
