Prolong this hush of warning, Lord, That we have time to clutch the sword: Grant us one hour — to arm! O God, bear not our sins in mind: We have been foolish, little, blind — But we were children then. We dreamed within a childish heart That we could play in peace apart Amid a world of men ! Now we have glimpsed our looming fate, Hold back Thy hand, ere 'tis too late 66 "ONE HOUR— TO ARM!" To shield our own from harm ! Within us loud our manhood calls, Before Thy bolt of terror falls, Grant us ...an hour — to arm! Lord, in this lull before the break Of Thy wide tempest, let us make Our ramparts round complete, With noise of rivets, whirr of wheels, And waters hissing 'neath the keels Of our star-guerdoned fleet ! With workshops fashioning our might, With bugles singing through the night In city and in farm ; The steady drill, the hammered din, The quiet heart of discipline — Grant us our hour — to arm! Then each shall take with stubborn grip His rifle as he took his whip, And when the Flag 's unfurled, The clerk shall drop his futile pen To lift his well-loved lance — and then A nation fronts the world !
