Dedicated to the Bishop and Mrs. Paul E. Martin.

By faith we rise to noble heights,

Of purity and love;

By faith we lay our treasures where,

They should be, up above.

By faith we live a life that's pure,

By faith we comprehend;

The will of God, which teaches us,

To quit ourselves like men.

By faith we pour the oil and wine,

Good neighbors try to be;

By faith we strive to be like Christ,

The Lamb of Cavalry.

How wonderful, how beautiful,

The whole of life, my friend;

When you and I have learned by faith,

To overcome all sin.

The storms and floods of life may come,

They come unto us all;

By faith we build upon the Rock,

So that we may not fall.

And when the silver cord shall loose,

The golden bowl shall break;

If we have been faithful to God,

He then our souls shall take.
