What the Saints Stand For: A Poem

Improvement Era, vol. 4, no. 9, July 1901, p. 682

Judd, Sidney A.

WHAT THE SAINTS STAND FOR.

Forlthe Church of Jesus Christ; For the truth that makes men free; For the bond of unity Which makes God's children one.

For the love which is in deeds: For the life which this world needs; For The Church whose triumph speeds The prayer: "Thy will be done."

For the right against the wrong; For the weak against the strong; For the poor who've waited long For the brighter age to be.

For the faith against tradition; For the truth 'gainst superstition; For the hope whose glad fruition Our waiting eyes shall see.

For the city God is rearing; For the new earth now appearing; For the heav'ns above us clearing, And the song of victory. Sidney A. Judd. Jay, Leavenworth Co., Kansas.
