We praise Thee, Lord, whose life we are. We lift our voices, let them ring. For those who early heard Thy call. With grateful gladness let us sing. Seeking a richer life from far; Joining with others far and near. Laying the dearest stones of all. With old and young we gather here In the grey dawn of other days. To celebrate the gift they gave. Mid other men and other ways. Our founders with their vision brave.

They builded better than they knew; We sing of those who cared to sow They trusted where they could not see; The plentiful harvest that we know. They heard the sound of voices new. Seeing above horizons then Singing of all the years to be; A woman’s life beyond their ken. And for both man and womankind They strove for freedom of the mind, An inner temple of the mind. A bright new world for womankind.

Around us dream our towers and spires. We hear their story: strong and few. And on our college hearthstone cast They worked and prayed and planned anew Red ashes of a hundred fires Through many toils a dream to save; Of all our immemorial past A fuller life to us they gave. Still glow in warm and friendly rays. We sing their praises; may we too Lit by the thoughts of college days. Abundantly live in all we do.

Descant Living the dream and dreaming to share A hundred years pass like a dream. With men our founders’ vision rare. Yet early founders still are we. Risking the storm while charting anew, Whose works are greater than they seem. We journey toward this brighter view Because of what we yet shall be As men and women, equal, give In the bright noon of other days. Unique gifts of self that all may live. Mid other souls and other ways. So Wheaton’s banner, raise it unfurled To women and men throughout the world; To the oppressed of ev’ry race A word of hope, a gift of grace. Not for ourselves our blessings be. But all humankind, ’til all are free. Words by J. Edgar Park, Music by Herbert J. Jenny
