SONG
Lift up thy light, O Soul, arise and shine!
Steadfast though all the storms of life assail,
Immortal spark of the great Light Divine!
Against whose power no tempest shall prevail—
Steadfast though all the storms of life assail,
Immortal spark of the great Light Divine!
Against whose power no tempest shall prevail—
Hold high thy light above earth's restless tides,
Scatter thy messages of light afar!
Falsehood and folly pass, but truth abides,
Be thine the splendor of her deathless star—
Scatter thy messages of light afar!
Falsehood and folly pass, but truth abides,
Be thine the splendor of her deathless star—
When the world sins and sorrows round thee rave
Pierce thou the darkness with thy dauntless ray,
Send out thy happy beams to help and save
“More and more shining to the perfect day.”
Pierce thou the darkness with thy dauntless ray,
Send out thy happy beams to help and save
“More and more shining to the perfect day.”
