Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
Light the torch, Light the torch. Blaze the way to the priesthood of God. Light the torch, Light the torch, Holding fast to the iron rod. We will look to the flame and honor our name; On the paths of truth we will trod. We’ll follow the light and stand for the right As we prepare for the priesthood of God.
