Lyrics or Keywords

Here in reverence now we gather For the blessings we have known, With a pledge to one another That we journey not alone. Joy and sorrow make us wise, Kin to all that lives and dies; Love calls us on, love calls us on. Words and deeds of those before us Waken here to keep us strong; Blend our voices in the chorus Of creation's living song. Courage bids us lift our eyes Upward to the shining skies; Hope calls us on, hope calls us on. Loyal guides in love and duty Lead us with a trusted light; Blest are they whose inward beauty Shows the path of truth and right. Honor is their earthly prize; By their work we realize, Faith calls us on, faith calls us on. We have shared a radiant hour When the truth has made us free, And the spirit's gracious power Dreamed of good that yet shall be. Bright the path before us lies. Joyful pilgrims, now we rise; Life calls us on, life calls us on.
