God loved us into being
We love God in response
In this way we are singing
Alleluia
God bless,

Second Theological Virtue: Hope
The desire for union with God
The grace to give glory and laud
Spring forth from the soul
With hope as the role
Laughing, though the world thinks it odd

First Theological Virtue: Faith
In truth do we, the seekers of knowledge, walk
For truth we fight as soldiers in a war
By faith do we, the holders of knowledge, talk
And seek to find the truth all the more
In truth our hands shall work to imitate,
Create a work as close to truth as can be
And by our voice the truth shall ne'er abate
Our truthful hands shall set the prisoners free
We march together, the beating of our feet
With choral song and shouts the truth lives on
Our unity shall become the enemy's defeat
As truth rings on and on and on and on
The wearers of truth shall only ever weep
Until the Father of Lies defeated sleeps
God bless,

Fourth Human Virtue: Temperance
When excess is wrong
Imprudent, unjust
Bring temperance along
A balance for us

Third Human Virtue: Fortitude
When the level of danger
Is at high altitude
Be stranger and stranger
By way of fortitude
Know to do what you should
Practicing like mad
To do what is good
When all cry 'Do bad!'

Second Human Virtue: Justice
Hearing another's heart
To find such a pleasure
Then you must start
To practice that treasure
To treasure another
It's Justice you'll need
To treat as sisters and brothers
That virtuous seed

First Human Virtue: Prudence
If you need to know what's wrong or right
Or know consequences or common sense
To gain such awful knowledge of light
Just practice the virtue called prudence
Think things through with firm discipline
Imagining the truth that may befall
Healthy for body and wholesome within
Is the optimal scene for a decisive call
