Rouse up, O Young Men of the New Age!
 (Sung text for setting by A. Bush)
 See original
Language: English 
Rouse up, O Young Men of the New Age! Set your foreheads against the
ignorant hirelings! For we have hirelings in the Camp, the Court, and

prolong corporeal war.  ...  believe Christ and His Apostles that there is a
class of men whose whole delight is in destroying.  ... 
Bush: "sole"
