Quiet and ordered hours,
Work and leisure and play:
Here are the budded powers
The world waits on our way,
And the gate swings slow apart,
And around us rises the stir of the fray,
-But it comes not into our heart.
Here we train for the future's race,
Here we look into learning's face,
Here we sit at her gracious feet,
Who steels our strength for the nearing fight,
When we arise with our arms complete,
We shall carry the light, we shall carry the light .
Life is a road to tread,
In dust and labour and heat;
But the light shines over our head,
And the thought of the goal is sweet.
What of the weary feet,
If the heart beats high to the end?
What if the past has known defeat?
The future is ours to mend.
Here we measure the morrow's aim,
Here we kindle the morrow's flame,
Here we learn for the love of our land,
Handled and made for the service of right,
We shall lift our lamp with a loyal hand,
We shall carry the light, we shall carry the light.
