Lovely Venetian

Lovely Venetian! Brother of Light,

Bring us love's beauty from Heaven's height!

Gentle and patient, understanding too,

Beautiful Venetian, WE LOVE YOU!

Chateau de Liberte, Home of our Paul

Guardian of Liberty's Flame that frees all;

In every heart, that Flame, pink, blue and gold

Gratefully adores you, friend of old.

Life's blessed purpose, let all now see!

"Our Brother's Keeper", help all to be;

Where shadows darken, love is needed most

Help us there to give it, Heavenly Host!

Lovely Venetian, make us firm and strong,

Wielding love's power, righting all that's wrong.

For your love's service, freely given all,

God's great gifts of glory, NOW WE CALL.

Goddess of Liberty, bless your dear son,

Our friend and brother, God's Holy One!

Expand his power, every blessed day,

We love our Venetian, God's Third Rayl
