The Church's Year

  1. Our festival is over,
    Our banners furled and stowed;
    Inspired by celebration
    We take the open road:
    It may be long and weary
    With trouble on the way
    But we will travel bravely
    To our appointed day.
  2. Our guide book is The Bible,
    Our symbol is the Cross,
    Our food the Holy Eucharist,
    The greatest gain from loss:
    Cheered on by Saints and Martyrs
    Whose lives and deaths affirm,
    The Church our tower and refuge
    To counsel and confirm.
  3. In prayer and contemplation,
    In comradeship and love,
    Shaped by the Church's teaching,
    Formed by God's will above:
    We mark the sacred calendar
    With Easter at its core,
    Crowned by the Resurrection,
    The key to Heaven's door.
  4. To God the grand creator
    Who set us on this course,
    And to His Son who taught us
    Its meaning and its force:
    And to the Holy Spirit
    Who guides us when we stray,
    Be honour, praise and glory
    Along our pilgrim way.
