We must trust in Christ, for his strength cannot fail. The young soul must find the new day. For only the young have the strength for the task That the dreams of the ages have made, To smile at the dawning that lightens the skies And walk into the day unafraid. Philia, Philia, to thee we raise our song Bind us in sacred unity and love shall make thee strong. Philia, Philia, thy faith shall give thee might. Within our souls orever Burn the watch-fires of the night. Words by Music by Patricia Bever Patricia Bever and Margie Boston
