Con OF The mountain, God of the storm,
God OF the flowers, God the worm!

Breathe on our spirits Thy love and Thy heal

And make us free
Free from the shackles OF ancient Tradition.
Free from the censure of man for his neigh

Help us each one TO fulfil his true mission,
And show US 'tis manly, 'tis Godlike to la

God ofthe beautiful, God OF each one!
Clothe US and feed US,
Hume US and lead rs.
Show us that Avarce holds us in thrall-
That the land is all Thine and Thou givest to ALL

Help us do right, all the day and the night
To love mercy and kindness;
Aid us to conquer mistakes OF the past;
Show US our future, to cheer US and arm US,
The upper, the better, the mansions Thou hast;
Aud, God of the grave. that the grave can
not harm US. j X. ORION.
