“Teach us to live our lives with purpose and with power
for visions of a better world and for decision’s hour;
To choose the way of life, reject the way of death,
until the radiant force of God fills mind and strength and breath.”

Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.”
