Em      B  C   Am   B7   Em
[tab]G      D7 B7  C  Am B7 Em
Comes the moment to dicide,

       B      C   Am   B7  Em
In the strife of truth and falsehood,

G   D7  B7   C  Am B7 Em
For the good or evil side;

G          Dsus4  D     Em   B
Some great cause, some great decision

Em       C    D   Em    C  B
Offering each the bloom or blight,

Em      B      C    Am  B7  Em
And the choice goes by forever

G      D7    G   C   Am   B7   Am
'Twixt that darkness and that light.

Em      B  C   Am   B7   Em
Then to side with truth is noble

G      D7 B7  C  Am B7 Em
When we shar her wretched crust

  B      C   Am   B7  Em
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,

G   D7  B7   C  Am B7 Em
And 'tis prosperous to be just;

G          Dsus4  D     Em   B
Then it is the brave man that choses

Em       C    D   Em    C  B
While the coward stands aside,

Em      B      C    Am  B7  Em
Till the mulititude make virtue

G      D7    G   C   Am   B7   Am
Of the faith they had denied.

Em      B  C   Am   B7   Em
By the light of burning martyrs,

G      D7 B7  C  Am B7 Em
Christ,thy bleeding feet we track,

 B      C   Am   B7  Em
Toiling up new Calvaries ever,

G   D7  B7   C  Am B7 Em
With the cross that turns not back;

G          Dsus4  D     Em   B
New occasion teach new duties,

Em       C    D   Em    C  B
Time makes ancient good uncouth,

 Em      B      C    Am  B7  Em
They must upward still and onward,

G      D7    G   C   Am   B7   Am
Who would keep abreast of truth.

Em      B  C   Am   B7   Em
Though the cause of evil prosper,

G      D7 B7  C  Am B7 Em
Yet the truth alone is strong

      B      C   Am   B7  Em
Though her portions be the scaffold

G   D7  B7   C  Am B7 Em
And upon the throne be wrong;

G          Dsus4  D     Em   B
Yet that scaffold sways the future

Em       C    D   Em    C  B
And behind the dim unknown

Em      B      C    Am  B7  Em
Standeth God within the shadow,

G      D7    G   C   Am   B7   Am
Keeping watch above His own.
