Now let the hero of our song, / Be he who gentle treats the throng, / And would not cruel treat another, / But to each be as to a brother.

And he must have both sense and wit, / And be possessed of strength and grit, / Then strong as proof of holy writ, / For to survive he is most fit.

And according to our test, / The fittest only is the best, / These have a right for to survive, / And well they do deserve to thrive.

And this kind of evolution / It will bring no revolution, / But revolve in Christian sphere, / Where scripture truths are prized and dear.

Give us the man doth persevere, / And presses on in his career, / Undaunted struggling for the right, / Though all mankind 'gainst him unite.

Though now on top of highest mount, / Where he has found true honour's fount, / Yet those below he don't despise, / But strives to aid them for to rise.
