The pure the bright ,the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth.
The impulese to woedless prayer
The dreams of love and trunth
The longing after something's lost
The spirt's yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes-
These things can never die
The timid had stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief'd dark hour
That proves a friend indeed
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh
The sorrow of a contrite heart-
These things shall never die
Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love-
Be firm ,and just ,and true;
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high
And angel voices say to thee--
These things shall never die
No responses
