Pulpiteer : As expressed in the verses of this hymn:

Parting Hymn: Wonders Still the World Shall Witness

Verse One:

Wonders still the world shall witness
Never known in days of old,
Never dreamed by ancient sages,
Howsoever free and bold.

Sons and daughters shall inherit
Wondrous arts to us unknown,
When the dawn of peace and splendor
Over all the Earth is thrown.

Verse Two

They shall rule with winged freedom
Worlds of health and human good,
Worlds of commerce, worlds of science
All made one and understood.

They shall know a world transfigured,
Which our eyes but dimly see.
They shall make its towns and woodlands
Beautiful from sea to sea.

Verse Three:

For a spirit then shall move them
We but vaguely apprehend.
Aims magnificent and holy,
Making joy and labor friend.

Then shall bloom in song and fragrance
Harmony of thought and deed,
Fruits of love and peace and justice,
Where today we plant the seed.

Pulpiteer : Amen
