"Of all the gifts of God

      D                              G

the greatest is the gift of Teaching.

It draweth unto us the Grace of God and is our first obligation.

Of such a gift how can we deprive ourselves?

Nay, our lives, our goods, our comforts, our rest,

      D                            C                                G

we offer them all as a sacrifice for the Abha Beauty

       D                           G

and teach the Cause of God."

Caution and prudence, however, must be observed

The veil must in no wise be suddenly rent asunder.

The Glory of Glories rest upon you.

"Of all the gifts of God

      D                               G

the greatest is the gift of Teaching.
