As Ere Beneath
Oh! may it not lay profitless, but in our actions shine
In pleasant paths it will us lead, our brows adorn with crowns
Unfading in the lapse of time, untarnished by earth's frowns
Too long it has remained unused by man in cause of Truth
Which he, in his great arrogance, enslaved hath forsooth
Oh Truth! thou beauteous gem, thou pearl of all the seas
Visible throughout God's works to men of all degrees
Shine forth in all thy splendour, enlighten ev'ry mind
Extinguish cherish'd errors, emancipate mankind!
From bigotry and priestcraft the so ills of men release
Let superstitious follies and false religions cease;
Then true worship by our acts shall senseless creeds displace
And base notions of our God no longer man disgrace
Then shall thy simple teachings, by Jesus first proclaimed
Divested of all errors by which they've been defamed
Shine as the second advent of enlightened truth
And countless millenniums reign verily on earth.
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As ere beneath the waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon lover
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice
And close your eyes with holy dread
In pleasant paths it will us lead, our brows adorn with crowns
Unfading in the lapse of time, untarnished by earth's frowns
Too long it has remained unused by man in cause of Truth
Which he, in his great arrogance, enslaved hath forsooth
Oh Truth! thou beauteous gem, thou pearl of all the seas
Visible throughout God's works to men of all degrees
Shine forth in all thy splendour, enlighten ev'ry mind
Extinguish cherish'd errors, emancipate mankind!
From bigotry and priestcraft the so ills of men release
Let superstitious follies and false religions cease;
Then true worship by our acts shall senseless creeds displace
And base notions of our God no longer man disgrace
Then shall thy simple teachings, by Jesus first proclaimed
Divested of all errors by which they've been defamed
Shine as the second advent of enlightened truth
And countless millenniums reign verily on earth.
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As ere beneath the waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon lover
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice
And close your eyes with holy dread
