O Light, from age to age the same, O ever living Word, Here have we felt Thy kindling flame, Thy voice within have heard. Here holy thought and hymn and prayer Have winged the Spirit's powers, And made these walls divinely fair, Thy temple, Lord, and ours. O not in vain their toil who wrought To build faith's freer shrine; Nor theirs whose steadfast love and thought Have watched the fire divine. Burn, holy Fire, and shine more wide! While nations rise and fall, Faith, hope, and charity abide, The heart and soul of all.
