God’s Sentinels

Good women are God’s sentinels; in the darkest of earths night,
They hold with stout hearts silently, lifes outposts towards the light,
And at God Almighty’s roll call, among the hosts that answer “Here”
The voices of good women sound strong and sweet and clear.

Good women are brave soldiers; in the thickest of the fight,
They stand with stout hearts patiently, embattled for the night,
And though no blare of trumpet or roll of drum is heard,
Good women the world over are in the army of the Lord.

Good women save the nation though they bear not sword or gun,
Their _____ is righteousness; their will with God is one.
Each in her single person revealing God on earth
Knowing that so, and only so, is any life of worth.

Don’t talk of woman’s weakness, I tell you that this hour
The weight of this world’s future depends upon their power.
And down the rock of ages, as times flood tides are told,
The level of their heights is marked by the place that woman holds.
