I feel the duty to call attention to the last verse.
True to my word, I'm trying to sing this song out loud, and I'm finding it hard to get all the way through it. Not because the melody is mostly at the upper limit of my natural range, so much.
It's that I'm getting all choked up and teary-eyed just reading the last verse, especially after this last week:
Then let us pray that come it may
(as come it will for a' that)
That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth
Shall [take first place] an' a' that
For a' that an' a' that
It's coming yet for a' that
That man to man, the world o'er
Shall [brothers] be for a' that.
