A GULDEN JUBILEE On This The golden FesTal which is ours Today. We pause To scan The garnered years-noT Tew, We backward glance and Through a golden glow, The deeds well done Tor TiTTy years we view. O holy years! We bless your wondrous deeds, Our Task oT Teaching TruThs oT TaiTh divine To children, and Their children, all These years: These deeds as sTars in l-leaven will brighTly shine. Behold, upon These years a crypT is Traced. BuT in l-lis wisdom God keeps saTe The scroll. And man cannoT The MasTer's message know. God's crypTogram iT is, and Traced in puresT gold. The humblesT deeds oT many years are Treasured now. The heaT, The burden, The weariness are passed away, Our backward glance is Through a haze oT gold. ReTlecTed by The radiance oT This glorious day. The vanished years TranslucenT as a seaworn shell Upon The beach oT some Tar disTanT shore, RepeaT sweeT messages Trom liTe's deep sea. Which hearing now we'll Treasure evermore. O golden day Tor us who chose The beTTer parT, BeneaTh ST. Joseph's guidance and his wondrous care, Who Toiled in These dear schools-The Schools oT FaiTh WiTh courage born oT love-To do and dare. BuT ere we parT, we'll Torge a golden chain And wiTh iT bind The precious years already Trod, Renewing FaiTh and l-lope and holy Love, Then lay Our TiTTy golden years beTore The Throne oT God.
