Without Thine aid in vain our zeal Strives to rebuild the broken walls; Vainly our sons invoke the muse Among these sacred groves and walls. From off Thine altar send a coal, As burning seraphs erst have brought; Relight the flame that once inspired The faithful teachers and the taught. Pour on our path Thy cloudless light That from Thy constant favor springs; Let heart and hand be strong beneath The shadow of Almighty wings. Recall, O God! The golden days; May rude, unfruitful discord cease; Our sons in crowds exulting throng The ancient haunts of white-robed Peace! So shall our upward way be fair, As that our sainted fathers trod. Again the Priest and Muse declare The holy oracles of God. The proceedings in the chapel were closed by a benediction, audience separated with their hearts full of thanksgiving for the new life of the institution they loved so well.
