Or on the wa­ters cast,
And swell the loud tri­umph­ant song;
Then with loved ones gone on be­fore,
The mys­te­ries sub­lime;
Go forth be­neath His sky.
Of grop­ing to­ward the light,
Now the de­ci­sive sen­tence hear;

Since they were faith­ful to the last,
Doth thy gold­en crown pro­claim,
The vic­tor in­no­cents we praise,
Grace is free, grace is free!
Saintly days of saint­ly men,
Shall ga­thered be at last.
And spread the hal­le­lu­jah round.
And praise Him for­ev­er­more.
Should spread from clime to clime.
And pray­ers of saints were sown,
And bat­tle done for right.
Receive an in­fi­nite re­ward.
Onward, cham­pi­on, fal­ter nev­er,
