O come o come ye seven virtues bright
'''RECORDING of this song:''' [[Media:virtues-anthem.mp3]]
And lead this soul from darkness into light
Let courage be my armour and my shield
With virtue as my guide I shall not yield
O come o come ye seven virtues bright
And lead this soul from darkness into light


O let my spirit hear ambition's call
<song>
To strive and rise and never fear to fall
O come o come ye seven virtues bright
Let flames of holy fervour fill my soul
And lead this soul from darkness into light
I shall not cease until I reach my goal
Let courage be my armour and my shield
O come o come ye seven virtues bright
With virtue as my guide I shall not yield
And lead this soul from darkness into light
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright''
''And lead this soul from darkness into light''


I pray that every day my wisdom grow
O let my spirit hear ambition's call
That I in turn may teach on what I know
To strive and rise and never fear to fall
To know the truths of all the world I yearn-
Let flames of holy fervour fill my soul
Till my last breath I shall not cease to learn
I shall not cease until I reach my goal
O come o come ye seven virtues bright
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright''
And lead this soul from darkness into light
''And lead this soul from darkness into light''


Oh holy virtue grant that I be proud
I pray that every day my wisdom grow
To own my sins and speak my virtues loud
That I in turn may teach on what I know
No falsehoods vile, false modesty or shame
To know the truths of all the world I yearn-
Shall tarnish the bright glory of my name
Till my last breath I shall not cease to learn
O come o come ye seven virtues bright
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright''
And lead this soul from darkness into light
''And lead this soul from darkness into light''


All ills I will ensure for duty's sake
Oh holy virtue grant that I be proud
A valiant heart may cease but never break
To own my sins and speak my virtues loud
To kinsman, to lover, and to friend
No falsehoods vile, false modesty or shame
My loyalty shall be without an end
Shall tarnish the bright glory of my name
O come o come ye seven virtues bright
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright''
And lead this soul from darkness into light
''And lead this soul from darkness into light''


With vigilance I strive that I perceive
All ills I will ensure for duty's sake
Those liars who dissemble and deceive
A valiant heart may cease but never break
May sinners fear my name across the land
To kinsman, to lover, and to friend
May traitors perish weeping at my hand
My loyalty shall be without an end
O come o come ye seven virtues bright
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright''
And lead this soul from darkness into light
''And lead this soul from darkness into light''


When hard I work with hand and heart and mind
With vigilance I strive that I perceive
Prosperity shall follow close behind
Those liars who dissemble and deceive
I shall make use of every throne I earn
May sinners fear my name across the land
That other men shall prosperous be in turn
May traitors perish weeping at my hand
O come o come ye seven virtues bright
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright''
And lead this soul from darkness into light
''And lead this soul from darkness into light''
 
When hard I work with hand and heart and mind
Prosperity shall follow close behind
I shall make use of every throne I earn
That other men shall prosperous be in turn
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright''
''And lead this soul from darkness into light''
</song>
