Spring out oh field of open dreams
Let not thy fears or acceptance of years
Be thy guide upon the narrow path
For narrow the path that starts the course
But broad the way that leads after it
So distant the glimmer of early morn
Then extravagant the array of dawn turned day
The open horizon most glorious
And abundantly full of possibility
So grant me this great agility
To climb the heights most willingly
And unfraid be my countenance of courage
That charges on ahead knowing
Its by faith alone I tread
And all my hope is fed
So no more for fear of failure
Or what others may say
My one hope and thought I pray
That thou mayst guide
And in thee alone
May I abide
For my plans
Thy will and way
Shall ne'er to stray
So be my courage
And charge
Through all
The great
Divide
