O trusting heart, look up and seeThe glorious home prepared for thee;A home so free from mortal strife,Where Love is all and God is Life;

The Pioneer

Life, Truth, Love

O WONDROUS  LifeThat knows no death or sin,Thy gates are open wide,That all may enter in.
Not in the paths of human peaceDoth Love proclaim the captive free;Nor where exultant crowds increaseHath Christ his hidden embassy.

Brotherhood

What is true brotherhood?
