Hymn 382

Emily F. Seal

ST. CECILIA

  Leighton G. Hayne

What is thy birthright, man,

Child of the perfect One;

What is thy Father's plan

For His beloved son?

Thou art Truth's honest child,

Of pure and sinless heart;

Thou treadest undefiled

In Christly paths apart.

Vain dreams shall disappear

As Truth dawns on the sight;

The phantoms of thy fear

Shall flee before the light.

Take then the sacred rod;

Thou art not error's thrall;

Thou hast the gift of God —

    Dominion over all.
