Lyrics of Love and Laughter

Give, Thou, some seer the power to sing them 
in their might,
The men who feared the master's whip, but did  
not fear the fight;
That he may tell of their virtues as minstrels 
did of old,
Till the pride of face and the hate of race grow
obsolete and cold.

A song for the unsung heroes who stood the
awful test,
When the humblest host that the land could
boast went forth to meet the best;
A song for the unsung heroes who fell on the bloody sod,
Who fought their way from night to day and struggled up to God.
