BR PAULL CENTRE
Song of Aquinas Words:Mr J. Stokes Music:Br Gerald Crooks, C.F.C.
We ask you Lord to make us strong To seek the right and spurn the wrong To raise the flame of learning’s spark That lights the mind, dispels the dark, And shows the road Aquinas trod: Truth conquers all for sons of God! By Canning waters still serene In playing fieldsof mellow green Where Chapel stone enshrines the hours Aquinas dreams from sunlit towers Andprayer enkindles faith again That God will make us worthy men. We ask you Lord to make us strong To seek the right and spurn the wrong To raise the flame of learning’s spark That lights the mind, dispels the dark, And shows the road great Edmund trod: Truth conquers all for sons of God!
