Softly Sing Our Parting Lay

Author: Mrs. A. M. Adams Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8752 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Softly sing our parting lay, Volume four we close today; Aspiration, courage, cheer, All are found recorded here. Lay this treasured book aside, Other volumes open wide, Rend we must our mutual bond, Grasp alone the more beyond! 2 Grasping things to us now sealed, Hidden truths will be revealed, Myriad wonders meet our eyes, Minds to higher levels rise. We would lighten others’ cares, Lift them heav’nward unawares; Not for self alone would live, Much received, would freely give. 3 Comrades, faint not, do not tire, After nobler things aspire; Ever onward, ne’er despond, This our signal, "More beyond." Glorious race may each one run, Priceless plaudits hear—"Well done, Lay then every burden down; Welcome, victor, wear thy crown." Languages: English Tune Title: LEE
