April Is National Poetry Month!
THE FIGHT IS ON
MARCUS GARVEY
1. The fight is on to-day,
The glory is at hand;
No more
must we delay,
But join the marching band.
Chorus:
The field is ever open,
For those of courage
great,
For Heav'n has sent its token,
So march to glorious
fate.
2. The Prophets told us when
The time would come to speak,
And
through the greatest men
God's help, in faith, to seek.
3. Throughout the live long day,
As battles we do fight,
The
Cross of Christ display,
To keep Him all in sight.
4. In conflicts of the night,
The stars will lead us on,
So
strike with all your might,
And raise the Pilgrim's song.
1934
