O God of Earth and Altar - GK Chesterton, NSA Convocati

[TheFperlin]

UP THE IRONS!

[bawelser]

Los Angeles can you feel it!!!!

[FabioPBarbieri]

From all that terror teaches,

FROM LIES OF TONGUE AND PEN,

FROM ALL THE EASY SPEECHES

THAT COMFORT CRUEL MEN,

From sale and profanation

Of honour and the sword,

FROM SLEEP AND FROM DAMNATION

DELIVER US, GOOD LORD!

[littlerudegirrrrl]

Imagine if someone yelled "MAIDEN!!!!!" in the middle of the first stanza

[foucachon]

[inzen1909]

@inzen1909 Read the words of the song O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not Thy thunder from us, But take away our pride. From all that terror teaches, From lies of tongue and pen, From all the easy speeches That comfort cruel men, From sale and profanation Of honor, and the sword, From sleep and from damnation u.c
