Anniversary Choral

Through the chang­ing sea­sons

Of the chang­ing year

With its light and sha­dow

With its hope and fear;

Through each glad ful­fill­ment

And each sad de­feat

We have safe­ly jour­neyed

And again we meet.

God hath kind­ly led us

Through this chang­ing year

By His guid­ing pro­vi­dence

We as­sem­ble here.

Records past and pre­sent

We may now surv­ey

At this plea­sant mile­stone

In life’s on­ward way:

Knowledge claims new pow­er

Truth her might ex­tends

And the Mas­ter know­eth

New and loy­al friends.

From this fest­al serv­ice

To our work anew

With a quick­ened pur­pose

Hearts both strong and true:

Father

lead Thy forc­es

One unit­ed band—

Ever on to con­quest

’Neath their king’s com­mand.
