An original hymn with text by Mark Fotheringham below.  Performed at the 2016 Alice Lloyd College convocation for Dr. D. Gene Pace.

Watch on YouTube: Drink From the River

We come to the river for to drink from the stream.

We climb up the mountainside to reach for a dream.

We come to the forest for to blaze new trails

Reaching oceans, we unfurl sails.

And for our food and our raiment we will lightly care,

For learning and knowledge is our fare.

And every page which we study, every word we write

Leads closer to the truth and the right.

May each question be answered. May our vision be clear.

May we serve with conviction that our God's ever near.

May He ever sustain us as we follow His beam

Let us drink from the river and dream.
