Covenant

Love is the doctrine of this church. The quest of truth is its sacrament, And service is its prayer. To dwell together in peace; To seek knowledge in freedom; To serve humankind in fellowship; Thus do we covenant with each other. |

From all that dwell below the skies Let songs of hope and faith arise Let peace, good will on earth be sung Through every land, by every tongue. ~ based on Isaac Watts |
