We search around, what do we see
A world wrapt in fragility
This paradise with dreams delayed
Is where you’ll find courage displayed !
The knowledge that the years have taught
This history for which we’ve fought
To live our faith, bide by its word
And heed God’s call that we have heard !
Prepare to gird for grievous aim
Know in the end we shall acclaim
The strength of our great Lord above
Who feels our grief and sends His love !
