Ours to enjoy the little that remains,
With all that life from wealth and honour gains;
Together here, in friendship and in joy,
We'll watch the rising of our matchless boy;
Together here, the path of wisdom trace,
With reason's glory, and religion's grace;
Together here, grateful for all that's given,
We'll live to happiness, and live to heaven.
