Stalwart as pillars
bearing high their burden,
So do the Church's doctors
stay the temple
Where truth abideth,
on the one Foundation
Grounded for ever.
O faithful stewards in
God's holy household,
Out of your treasure new
and old things bringing,
Still do your writings
to the Light of ages
Steadfastly witness.
Souls wise and loyal
to the Spirit's leading,
Bravely ye battled
for the faith delivered,
While of its ageless mysteries
ye furnished
New understanding.
Now with unclouded gaze
ye are beholding
Him of whose face ye strained
to catch the vision;
To whom be glory,
Father, Son, and Spirit,
Through endless ages.
