General (Vol. 1)

Commitment

  1. Though life's uncertain span may yet provide
    Ample reward in earthly life and love,
    May we, in dedication to The Word,
    Be ardent, calm and scrupulous to prove
    Those human gifts which You have freely given
    Are channels and not obstacles to Heaven.

  2. May we seek God in all that He has made
    And recognise His Son in those we meet
    And may the Spirit strengthen and amaze,
    Lovingly counselling against retreat:
    With scripture and with Sacramental Grace
    God grants the means for what we have to face.

  3. Though earthly comforts and the heavenly life
    May be perceived as mortal enemies
    Our consolation lies in Jesus Christ
    Who dwelt with us and fashioned our release,
    Sending the Spirit to His Church on earth
    Who was the author of our Saviour's birth.
