This verse by Arthur Clough is the inspiration for the stained glass window John Piper made for the Churchill Memorial Porch in the St. Paul (South) Tower. It is inscribed near the window and was quoted by Sir Winston Churchill in his world broadcast on April 17, 1941. This setting was first sung at Open House, September 28, 1974 at the opening of an exhibit of Churchill memorabilia in the Rare Book Library, the day preceding the dedication of the porch.
