THE SMITHY OF GOD

I forge a people fit to dwellUnscathed in the hottest heart of hell,And fit to shine, erect and straight,When we shall see His kingdom comeOn earth, over all of Christendom,—And I stand up, shining and great,Lord of an unforeseen estate.Then I will cry, and clearly then,I am Newark, forger of men.
