And What Shall You Say?


Brother, come!
And let us go unto our God.
And when we stand before Him
I shall say-
"Lord, I do not hate,
I am hated.
I scourge no one,
I am scourged.
I covet no lands,
My lands are coveted.
I mock no peoples,
My people are mocked."
And, brother, what shall you say?

Written by Joseph S. Cotter, Jr. (1895-1919)
