This poem is intended as a roadmap for graduates.
God's mercy and love raised you to this tier, Amid the party of graduates assembled here. So, think not of self more highly than you ought, For it is the Lord's grace that kept you unfraught. Try not to conform to the actions of this world, But let your minds be renewed by this conferral. Wisely put The Lord's perfect will to the test, And hold fast to what your heart knows is best. Honor one another above self and guard your faith; Love what you deem sincere and leave evil to scathe. Share with each other in need and keep hopes high, Be humanly hospitable and let your service edify. Seek not to do evil to repay a slight, For integrity is the practice of being right. Let peace be your goal when dealing with others; We please the Lord by being sisters and brothers
