4. Opening Ode(To the tune of ‘O Christmas Tree’) Sing ye his praises loud and long, And let the unenlightened know, In ev’ry echo of your song, The great deeds done, tho’ long ago, By Columbus of the valiant soul, Who first old Neptune has controlled, Despite of envy, intrigue, gold, In the dim past of long ago. With vessels three o’er stormy sea, He thrilled the world of long ago, While wisdom linked with destiny, In justice scales its weight did throw. We are his heirs; we wear his name; We boast his deeds; we spread his fame; Our Order is the shining flame, That lights the gloom of long ago.

Closing Prayers: Vocations for Michael Bower and Jamie Baxter Dear Lord, We Knights are grateful, Lord, to You for extending Your invitation to the holy priesthood from Melchisidek down through the centuries, and now to two of our own. Bless them with an unending strengthening of their resolve, Oh Lord. Assist them with an ever-growing devotion to Your will. Foster in them wisdom, grace, piety, patience, and great love for us all, that they may grow in priestly virtue. Further our care and concern, Oh Lord, so that we will never cease to bless them, support them, encourage them, as we convey to them and their families our appreciation and gratitude for their generous acceptance of Your call. Amen.

29. Closing Ode(To the tune of ‘My Country Tis of Thee’) Now our evening’s work is done, Then let us ev’ry one, Join in a song, Long may our Order stand, Foremost in this free land, Ready with heart and hand, To right each wrong. We have a mission great, True to our Church and State, Onward we move. We dry the mourner’s tear, The tired heart we cheer, Faith in our works appear, Upheld by Love.
