Table of Contents

God of the dreadful night and shadowed days,

Lord of the long red roads and bloody ways,

Thou who art one with man, and man indeed,

Thou who art not apart but of his need

Out in this purple night, down through this dark,

Flash forth Thy beacon light, uplift Thine ark,

Thrill us to sacrifice, hearten our prayer;

Fling forth our falsities, chasten our care;

Scourge well with corded whips weakness and sin;

Burn out with whited heat waste things within;

Let us go forth to fight made men of steel,

Wrought by Thy passion white, radiant and real.
