“I think the true discovery of America is before us. I think the true fulfillment of our spirit, of our people, of our mighty and immortal land, is yet to come. I think the true discovery of our own democracy is still before us. And I think that all these things are certain as the morning, as inevitable as noon.

“It will make a weak man mighty;
It will make a mighty man fall.
It will fill your heart and hands;
Or leave you with nothing at all.

And legs for the lame.

And pride for shame.That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the mighty power.
That's the power of the gospel.”

Like some grave mighty thought threading a dream,
And times and things, as in that vision, seem
Keeping along it their eternal stands.”

“With the loneliness
of you mighty men,
with your mighty kiss
that might never, never end,
while, so far away,
in the seat of the West,
burns the fount
of the heat
of that loneliness.”
