Progressive Bible Glass,
We hail thee as we pass
The way along.
High may the banner wave,
Keep men, true-hearted, brave.
Their friends and brothers save,
This is our song.
United we will stand,
A loyal, working band,
To do and dare.
And when, redeemed by grace,
In heaven we find place,
May not single face,
Be missing there.
