CCGS School hymn

LEAD US, O LORD.

LEAD us, O Lord. Your pure clear light

Shall guide our steps to set them a-right.

Though the darkness swirl around the one true way,

Your word shall lead us higher to meet the dawning day

JOY sings, O Lord, in every heart

As friendship plays its God-given part.

May our friendship show the love that lives in You.

Make happy all fellowship working to make life strong and true.

THANK You, O Lord, for bright lives past

That prove Your love has power to last.

Steady may they shine in days when hope is low,

And kindle our courage to serve You with a fiery glow.

COME with us, Lord. Put out Your hand

To point the path, when doubt clouds the land.

“Deus dux, Doctrina lux” shall lead us clear.

Our lives shall share your glory with You ever near.
