Life is a loom, and we are the weavers,
The warp is laid by the Master's hand.
For the pattern and colors, we are the makers
Their beauty depends on our daily stand.
The shuttle lifts and the threads are spun,
From the dawning of day, till the setting sun;
And the cheerful heart, and the courage true
Are as colors of red and brightest blue.
Since we as the weavers may choose as we go,
Let us fashion a pattern where faith will show;
And hope reach out like spires tall,
And gold threads of love be woven through all.
