With Faiths undying fame

That clouds His sacred image stilh
And see Him once again.
The brother man, the plying friend,
Who weeps for human woes,
Whose pleading words of pardon blend
With cries of raging foes.
n mid the gathering storms of doubt,
Our hearts grow faint and cold.
Tho strength we cannot live without,
Tby love will not withhold.
Our prayers accept, our sins forgive,
Our youthful zeal renew,
Shape for us boiler livest to live,
And nobler work to do.
