To Thine eternal shrine above,
Grant that its golden wing may soar;
And at the fount of truth and love,
The Eternal Source of light adore.
Grant that its golden wing may soar;
And at the fount of truth and love,
The Eternal Source of light adore.
TO ———
Be life's bright golden pathway thine;
Thy heart, fair friendship's chosen shrine..
Be joy and love and virtue given,
To guide thine onward path to heaven.
Be thine the beaming light of truth,
To cheer thine age, to guide thy youth.
Its gracious sunlight may it send,
With its Great Source thy heart to blend.
Thy heart, fair friendship's chosen shrine..
Be joy and love and virtue given,
To guide thine onward path to heaven.
Be thine the beaming light of truth,
To cheer thine age, to guide thy youth.
Its gracious sunlight may it send,
With its Great Source thy heart to blend.
Life has bright scenes for youthful love;
But rest thine earnest gaze above.
There shall no error dim thy sight,
No sin obstruct the heavenly light.
O! be no shade of sadness cast
Around the memory of the past;
The future,—may its pages be
Replete with purest bliss for thee.
But rest thine earnest gaze above.
There shall no error dim thy sight,
No sin obstruct the heavenly light.
O! be no shade of sadness cast
Around the memory of the past;
The future,—may its pages be
Replete with purest bliss for thee.
And when life's golden bowl shall break,
The harp's sweet chords no music wake;
The harp's sweet chords no music wake;
