FOUNDED BY GOD

College Hymn Jonathan Steele

*

Founded by God, Clearwater Christian College;

Fortress of Faith, instruction, and of knowledge;

Forged in the fires of Holy consecration,

Firm may she stand, a godly habitation;

We, to our Alma Mater will be true!

v Bearing the name of Christ, His bidding we will do.

i

Faithful to Christ, may witnesses behold us;

Strong in His might to fight the battles 'round us;

Girded with truth and righteousness surrounding;

Faith for our shield, the darts of Satan quenching;

Forth with the Word, Thy Gospel we make known;

• #

Faithful to Thee, O Christ, Thy providence we own.

Help us O Lord, to serve Thee and obey Thee;

Quicken each heart to love Thee and to praise Thee;

• »

Thankful we are for every blessing given;

Though we are dust, Thou hast our sins forgiven;

Thy Word declares, a place for us awaits;

Help us to serve Thee 'till we enter Heaven's gates.
