Through our upward pilgrimage,
Larger, deeper, lessons learning,
May we still in labours blest
Never tire and never rest,
And with forces ever new

Serve the Holy and the True.

Can watch and suffer long;

Still daring more when fearing most,
In every wisdom strong.

With hope of human sins forgiven;

Token of earthly ties unbound,

Of heart intent on opening heaven.
