LORD OF THE RED ROADS
God of the dreadful night and shadowed days, Lord of the long red roads and bloody ways, Thou who art one with man, and man indeed. I'hou who art not apart but of his need — Out in this purple night, down through this dark, Flash forth Thy beacon light, uplift Thine ark, Thrill us to sacrifice, hearten our prayer; Fling forth our falsities, chasten our care; Scourge ivell with corded whips weakness and sin; Burn out with whited heat ivaste things within; Let us go forth to fight made men of steel, Wrought by Thy passion white, radiant and real.
