No lion can him fright, I'll with a giant fight, but I shall have a right to be a pilgrim. 3 No word of foe or friend can daunt my spirit; I know I at the end will life inherit. Then fancies fly away; I'll fear not what they say; I'll labor night and day to be a pilgrim. Used With Tune: MONK'S GATE

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days, for the living of these days. 3 Cure thy children's warring madness; bend our pride to thy control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, make thy peace our daily goal, make thy peace our daily goal. 4 Fill us with a living vision, heal our wounds hat we may be bound as one beyond division in the struggle to be free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, ears to hear and eyes to see, ears to hear and eyes to see. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

Wise and righteous men and women dwell within its gleaming wall; wrong is banished from its borders, justice reigns supreme o'er all. 2 We are builders of that city. All our joys and all our groans help to rear its shining ramparts; all our lives are building stones. Whether humble or exalted, all are called to task divine; all must aid alike to carry forward one sublime design. 3 And the work that we have builded, oft with bleeding hands and tears, oft in error, and in anguish, will not perish with our years: it will live and shine transfigured in the final reign of right: it will merge into the splendors of the city of the light.

If we do not feel the chain when it works another’s pain, are we not base slaves indeed, slaves unwilling to be freed? 2 Is true freedom but to break fetters for our own dear sake, and with leathern hearts forget we owe humankind a debt? No, true freedom is to share all the chains that others wear, and, with heart and hand, to be earnest to make others free. 3 They are slaves who fear to speak for the fallen and the weak; they are slaves who will not choose hatred, scoffing, and abuse, rather than in silence shrink from the truth they needs must think. They are slaves who dare not be in the right with two or three. Used With Tune: SALZBURG
