And never brought to mind;
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

CHORUS.

For auld land syne, my boys,
For auld land syne,
We'll ne'er forget when first we met,
In days of auld lang syne.

CHARITY.

Sing after the words--"But the greatest of these is Charity."

Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
Chief among the blessed three;
Turning sadness into gladness,
Heaven-born art thou Charity.
Pity dwelleth in thy bosom,
Kindness reigneth o'er thy heart;
Gentle thoughts alone can sway thee,
Judgment with thee hath no part.

CHORUS.

Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
Chief among the blessed three;
Turning sadness into gladness,
Heaven-born art thou, Charity.

Of thee I sing;
Land where our comrades died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.

Our fathers' God to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us with thy might,
Great God, our King.

Let it be the sign of honor
Every loyal lives.

CHORUS.

Wear the badge and keep it shining
All life's journey through,
Ever as the glorious emblem
Of the work we do.

Then, proud eagle, still soar sunward;
Flag, your folds swing loose;
Love shall shield the helpless orphan,
Fill the widow's cruse.--CHORUS.

GREETING ODE.

Greeting our comrades who join with us here--
Warm as in days when with never a fear
We all went marching on.

CHORUS.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
We all go marching on.

Held by fraternity in bonds that are sure,
Drawn close in charity by ties that are pure,
Filled with a loyalty that ever shall endure,
We still go marching on.

CHORUS.--Glory, glory, hallelujah, etc.

Elbow to elbow we stood through the fight,
Elbow to elbow we stand here tonight,
Elbow to elbow till h
