CHILDREN OF THE BUDDHA
Children of the Buddha
Proudly now we stand
Raising high His standard
In this eastern land
Buddha's teaching spreadeth
Universal peace
Where His name is honoured
Hate and strive shall cease
Children of the Buddha
We must strive to show
Truth and love and kindness
Where soever we go
Purity, obedience
Faith and courage strong
These shall light our journey
As we march along
As we climb life's mountain
Clouds will disappear
Buddha's love surrounding
All who persevere
Grief and pain departing
Ignorance will ceased
On our hearts descending
Blest Nirvana's peace.
CLIMB THE PATH WITH GLADNESS D. Hunt
Climb the Path with gladness
In the field of life
Vanquishing illusion
Ignorance and strife
Brotherhood and service
Shall our motto be
And the goal before us
Truth and liberty
We will teach Thy Dhamma
Where soe're we go
Wisdom, Love, compassion
In our actions show
We must stand together
Fighting side by side
Truth is undivided
This must be our guide
All divisions vanish
Where the Truth is known
This the greatest lesson
By Lord Buddha shown
Forward marching ever
In the Dhamma's might
Till we lead the nations
Into endless light.
CONSECRATED LORD TO THEE
Buddha Lord in Thine embrace
We our marriage vows would place
That our wedded life may be
Consecrated Lord to Thee
To Thy guardianship benign
We our marriage would assign
To be welcomed to Thy Fold
As Jambunada was of old
Coming thus in days of youth
Unto Thee, O Lord of Truth,
May Thy Words our hearts impress
With the seal of Holiness
Guide our heartfelt vows, dear Lord,
Constantly Thine aid afford,
Till this earthly Life is done
And Nirvana's Peace is won.
