A poem by Joseph Horatio Chant

Victory Gained And Life Lost

________________________________________________
Title:     Victory Gained And Life Lost
Author: Joseph Horatio Chant [More Titles by Chant]

As fought the Paladins of old,
With gleaming swords and spirit bold,
To thwart the schemes of base Lothar,
Give France to Karl in holy war,
So would we battle for the right,
Tho' we may perish in the fight.

Our trusty blade, not made of steel,
While wounding deep, doth also heal;
With this, and clad in Christian mail,
The hosts of sin we would assail,
To gain the world for Christ, tho' we
Should fall while shouting victory!






[The end]
