Our Song

In love and confidence we strive,
“Believe in god”, we say with pride
Christ reigns in the hearts of all
His words and deeds we do adore

Christ is our eyes
Christ is our ears
He watches us, banishing our fears
Christ reigns in the hearts of all
and so we proclaim:

“Christus regnat” we all say
Christus regnat everyday
Christus regnat, Christ reigns now
Christ reigns now and forevermore

Like a riv’r our spirits gently flow
In a place where we can grow
With peace and hope and
justice for all
A christian life we all strive for

Our blessed lady so strong and bright
Like the radiant blue cross
That shines in the night
Christ reigns in the hearts of all
And so we proclaim:

“Christus regnat” we all say
Christus regnat everyday
Christus regnat, christ reigns now
Christ reigns now and forevermore
