The Spike or Victoria College Review Capping programme 1919

The Dawn

The Dawn.

The sound of conflict dies away,
And with the increasing dawn,
The warmth, the promise of the day—
A great new hope is born!
The light that shone in dying eyes
In yonder scene appears—
Their wisdom come to make us wise
And light the coming years!

Chorus:
Glory upon glory coming days shall see!
Truth in all her beauty thorned and crowned shall be;
Freedom in her mountains shall her race increase,
Love shall teach the freemen all whose ways are peace!

Beloved, written in the dawn,
A better world shall rise!
The strength of sacrifice, newborn
In those it succoured, make them wise;
A new life, purged in battle heat,
Inform society;
In every human breast shall beat
The pulse of Liberty
Chorus:
