Brave were the people who lived in these hills. Brave, the great warriors who confronted the foe. To defend what is holy, to defend what is true Our Lord on mankind did this duty bestow. 2. Glad all our children who people these hills, Glad in the vision their hearts understand. What became of past struggles? ow the records are still, But courage still lingers, giving strength to the land. Men hunger for riches, for pow’r, and for fame By favor they think they will grow.

The fires at eve-- ning said we were bro thers. A G A The fires at eve-- ning said we were Bro thers 1. I’ve lived in many countries 4. One day I climbed a mountain And mixed with many men. With friends of other lands. I’ve shared their days of sunshine, The words we used were different, Gone with them in the rain. But joy one understands. The fires at evening said we were brothers. Our gladness in God’s world made us brothers. The fires at evening said we were — Our gladness in God’s world made us — Brothers! Brothers! 2. A soldier I saw weeping 5. Though words and customs vary Beside a dying friend. Like waves upon the sea, My officers had said One life beneath the surface I must hate him till the end. Binds everyone to me. But seeing his grief, I knew we were brothers. Who knows the truth knows all men as brothers. But seeing his grief I knew we were — Who knows the truth knows all men as — Brothers! Brothers! 3. A man sat on a doorstep 6. Then brothers, why endeavor To see the children play. To set ourselves apart? The gentle way he smiled there The fences we’ve been building Would charm your fears away. Squeeze tight upon our hearts! A stranger, he, but love made us brothers. Come sing the truth that all men are brothers! A stranger, he, but love made us — Come sing the truth that all men are — Brothers! Brothers!
