From assault or inward stain;
Let it be what Christ has planned
His new Eden, where you reign.
Teach us that in Christ your Son
Lies the wisdom to be free;
For the Cross, which we would shun,
Is man's Tree of Liberty.
Should the powers of hell arise,
And our peace be trampled down,
In that night of blood and lies
Show us still your twelve-starred crown.
Take from us the coward heart,
Fleeting will, divided mind,
Give us sight to play our part,
Through the world around is blind.
Image of the risen life
Shining in eternity,
Glimmer through our earthly strife,
Draw us to your victory.
By Professor James MacAuley
