«Father, I honor thee;
Not for earth’s hoards or honors we here are
contending;
All that is holy our swords are defending:
Then falling, and conquering, I honor thee.
God, I repose in thee.
God, I repose in thee;
When the thunders of death my soul are
greeting,
When the gashed veins bleed, and life is
fleeting,
In thee, my God, I repose in thee.
Father, I call on thee.»
