In Jesus our hopes are all centered;
On Him our attention we fix:
For we by Thy goodness have entered
One thousand nine hundred and six.

We thank Thee for constantly guiding
Our steps through the years that have fled;
And in Thy safe keeping confiding,
The paths of the future we tread.

May we, from all error defended,
In knowledge and wisdom increase;
And may there to us be extended
The blessings of comfort and peace.

And since Thou hast thus far inclined us
To set our affections above,
The leaves of the record behind us
We leave to Thine infinite love.

Though we may at times be defeated,
And seem to be hoping in vain,
We know when Thy plan is completed
With joy we shall see Him again.

The signs of His coming invite us
Each day with glad service to fill:
His Word and His Spirit unite us
In loving and doing His will.
