Be that guide whom love sustains.
Rise above the daily strife:
lift on high the good you find.
Help to heal the hurts of life.
Be that helper nothing daunts -
doubt of friend or taunt of foe.
Ever strive for liberty.
Show the path that life should go.
Be that builder trusting good,
bitter though the test may be:
through all ages they are right,
though they build in agony.
Be that teacher faith directs.
Move beyond the old frontier:
though the frightened fear that faith,
be tomorrow’s pioneer!
