class="t">And we are one in Thee.

The mind that is in Jesus

Will guide us into truth,

The humble, open, joyful mind

Of ever-learning youth;

The heart that is in Jesus

Will lead us out of strife,

The giving and forgiving heart

That follows love in life.


Wherever men adore Thee,

Our souls with them would kneel;

Wherever men implore Thy help,

Their trouble we would feel;

And where men do Thy service,

Though knowing not Thy sign,

Our hand is with them in good work,

For they are also Thine.

Forgive us, Lord, the folly

That quarrels with Thy friends,

And draw us nearer to Thy heart

Where every discord ends;

Thou art the crown of manhood,

And Thou of God the Son;

O Master of our many lives,

In Thee our life is one.

FOUNDATIONS

”Those things which cannot be shaken”—Heb. XII:28.

Now again the world is shaken,

Tempests break on sea and shore;

Earth with ruin overtaken,

Trembles while the storm-winds roar.

He abideth who confideth,

God is God forevermore.

Thrones are falling, heathen raging,

Peoples dreaming as of yore

Vain imaginations, waging

Man with man, unmeaning war.

He abideth who confideth,

Christ is King forevermore.


Human wisdom in confusion,

Casts away the forms it wore;

Ancient error, new illusion,

Lose the phantom fruit they bore,

He abideth who confideth,

Truth is truth forevermore.

Right eternal, Love immortal,

Built the House where we adore;

Mercy is its golden portal,

Virtue its unshaken floor.

He abideth who confideth,

God is God forevermore.

VICTORIA

“Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”—St. John XVI:33.

Thy victory is in the heart,

Thy kingdom is within;

When outward pride and pomp depart,

Thy glory doth begin.

Thine army, ever in the field,

Is led by love and light;

Thy followers fall but never yield,

Triumphant in the right.


O King most meek and wonderful,

Grant us among Thy host,

To follow Thee, to fight for Thee,

Knights of the Holy Ghost.

C. M.
