Not for us the Sabbath singing
Of the sweet-voiced choir;
Ours the old majestic temple,
Where God's brightness shines
Down the dome so grand and ample,
Propped by lofty pines.
8. H eeding truth alone, and turning
From the false and dim,
Lamp of toil, and altar burning,
Are alike to Him.
Strike then, comrades ! trade is waiting
On our rugged toil;
Far ships waiting for th e freighting
Of our woodland spoil.
9. Cheerily on the axe of labou r
Let the sunbeams dance,
Better than the flash of sabre
Or the gleam of lance.
U p, my comrades, up an d doing I
Mauhood's rugged piny
St ill renew ing, bra vely hewing
Through the world our way.
