TO THE NEW MEN
Heat the furnace hot;
Smelt the things of thought
Into dross and dew;
Mould the world anew.
Smelt the things of thought
Into dross and dew;
Mould the world anew.
More than earth and sea
Is a heart and eye:
Gird yourselves, and try
All the powers that be.
Is a heart and eye:
Gird yourselves, and try
All the powers that be.
Wicked, cease at once
Troubling; wearied eyes,
Rest you now, while suns
Dawn and moons arise.
Troubling; wearied eyes,
Rest you now, while suns
Dawn and moons arise.

'Stablish heaven to-day;
Cleanse the beast-marked brow;
Wipe all tears away:
Do it—do it now!
Cleanse the beast-marked brow;
Wipe all tears away:
Do it—do it now!
Love, and hope, and know:
Man—you must adore him:
Let the whole past go:
Think God's thought before Him.
Man—you must adore him:
Let the whole past go:
Think God's thought before Him.
Knowledge is power? Above
All else, knowledge is love.
All else, knowledge is love.
Heat the furnace hot:
Smelt the world-old thought
Into dross and dew;
Mould the earth anew.
Smelt the world-old thought
Into dross and dew;
Mould the earth anew.
