Rest, Queen - beneath this standard we defend
Our sign of faith guiding mystery with chants -
Banner strutting in the crisp air extends
The clear sky with our heavenly chorus.
On this tree eternal His throne resides
With rays from two crowns - rivers of reddish
Hues, of passionate pure; streams of rebirth
As that flow from our baptismal hill.
Rest all who come to drink this water clear,
To find peace amid God's serenity.
Justice - abide with love and fear; mercy -
By virtue of our strength and charity.
The colors of our devotion - advance
With glory; we share this sign of our faith.
