Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some great decision, offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever, 'twixt that darkness and that light.

  • for the motherland!(cod 1) and tahts a russian recorded song...

  • @croatian1997

    "russian recorded song"? Hardly.

    The words are from a poem written by an American, James Lowell in 1845 and the music was written by Thomas Williams, a Welsh composer, in 1890.

    The particular piece used in the video came from a recording of the London Philharmonic Orchestra with the Amen Choir...

    Not a Russian amongst them.

  • anglicansag - Thanks for posting the additional verses. This has always been one of my favorites - as it was in the old Episcopal church I grew up in...

  • How dramatic you are. And no, I'm not a idiot nor a leftist. What in the world give u the right to decide who must die for the good of mankind? The death of muslim children is fair since it can provide oil for the plastic of ur new PS3? Muslins may be fanatic, but not barbarians. Maybe if the G20 consume just the necessary, oil was a lesser problem. Anyway, you are calling robbery/murder as a right thing and are being selfish enough to judge the future of some nations as whole manking. U sux.

  • My only wish is that there would be no more wars.

  • @phoebecatgirl They themselves do not count.

  • This my favorite hymn. Excised from our Methodist hynnal,(!) I am very sad, but I'm glad it is on Youtoube at least. I guess "they" figured the Cold War was over, and so, "tossed" the hymn out! - Shame on them! - There are other emenies to worry about!

  • Written in protest of the US Mexican-American war.

  • War is Satan's Delight

  • You did an awesome job on this piece!!! Proud to call you brother.

  • This song is just so powerful. I remember this in Call of Duty.

  • These are soldiers defending our country, not the military industrial complex. These are citizen soldiers that gave up comfort, the presence, of their families, some their health, some their limbs, and some their lives. Vermin like you are a waste of oxygen. Go to the PRC and enjoy.

  • I first heard the tune in Call of Duty. Then I heard the tune was called Ebenezer. Then I found this. This is awesome.

  • @SturmFuhrerx I'm not against all u have saying but this vid is well made and the text of this vid is good! It s why i ve voted for and against!
