Let us pass our time by honourably
No stain of sin incur
Our deeds of wrong, through God’s undoing
Our paths at last to virtue set
Death to pride, to sloth, to hate
To lust and wanton cruelty
And in its place, to cultivate
The heart of Christian Charity
Note well ye faithful gentlemen
These hallowed souls gone long afore
Their lives as footprints seen ahead
To guide us on our way.

These hallowed souls gone long afore
Their lives as footprints seen ahead
To guide us on our way.
A poetic exhortation and encouragement to keep on practicing good.
