The vision God gave to our fathers Is coming to us in our turn; And at the first gleam of its splendor Our hearts are beginning to burn. Refrain: It is stage by stage to the golden age, To the golden age, It is stage by stage to the golden age, Far off we seem to view it; But the good we crave wilt come to the brave Who see God's will and do it. 2 Around us are wrongs and misdoings, And struggle, and suff'ring, and woe; The helpless are needing a champion, The tempted are pressed by the foe; And children are foully neglected, They even are thrust into sin; And the knights of the good Lord Jesus Have many a battle to win. [Refrain] 3 The promise belongs to the children, Saith One who is faithful and true A promise of welfare and blessing, Which God to the young doth renew: Its glimmer is cleaving the darkness; We know that the day is begun; And cloudland is tinged with the glory That tells of the might of the sun.
