Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. My Guide and I.
A Friend once met me in the dark,
And through much cunning and fine art,
Said: Come with me, the way seems fair,
We'll walk along, a loving pair,
And give ourselves to duty's call,
Not asking Self or love at all,
But simply say 'in God we trust.'
Follow what will, come what must,
Our standard high, our faith supreme,
Humanity the living stream
That we must better if we can,
By lending will to heart and hand.
Unfurl our banner for the right,
The only power that giveth might,
Step down, if need be to secure
The gem called Charity, whose birth is pure,
And greater than a diadem
To crown the hearts of living men.
To angels help we will give heed,
Asking whenever much in need,
And if the way seems filled with doubt
We'll never stop and turn about,
But bravely on, the uphill side
Oft times presents the loveliest ride.
And in our journey on together
