'''RECORDING of this song:''' [[Media:virtues-anthem.mp3]] | |||
<song> | |||
O come o come ye seven virtues bright | |||
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 | |||
To strive and rise and never fear to fall | |||
Let flames of holy fervour fill my soul | |||
I shall not cease until I reach my goal | |||
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright'' | |||
''And lead this soul from darkness into light'' | |||
I pray that every day my wisdom grow | |||
That I in turn may teach on what I know | |||
To know the truths of all the world I yearn- | |||
Till my last breath I shall not cease to learn | |||
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright'' | |||
''And lead this soul from darkness into light'' | |||
Oh holy virtue grant that I be proud | |||
To own my sins and speak my virtues loud | |||
No falsehoods vile, false modesty or shame | |||
Shall tarnish the bright glory of my name | |||
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright'' | |||
''And lead this soul from darkness into light'' | |||
All ills I will ensure for duty's sake | |||
A valiant heart may cease but never break | |||
To kinsman, to lover, and to friend | |||
My loyalty shall be without an end | |||
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright'' | |||
''And lead this soul from darkness into light'' | |||
With vigilance I strive that I perceive | |||
Those liars who dissemble and deceive | |||
May sinners fear my name across the land | |||
May traitors perish weeping at my hand | |||
''O come o come ye seven virtues bright'' | |||
''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'' | |||
