George Nicholls, Nic Jones, Thomas Hewitt Jones, Rupert Gough, Matt Payne and The Choir of the Royal Holloway - In Our Service

No gilded throne nor gleaming crown of sapphire
Can sure outshine an earthly vow
To serve, to live with dignity
With humble stewardship and sacrifice
A pledge of unity a vow of love

Though earthly rulers' roles are often fleeting
Truth comes to those who nobly dare
To live a life of constancy
To love thy neighbour and thy family
A living ministry: an act of love

So ev'ry day, we strive to do what's right
Not choosing spite nor breeding hate
A life of faith and honesty
As courage is the key to progress
We'll surely journey on, sustained by love

The truth is, grief is the price we pay for love
And surely love will life sustain
With endless grace of heart and mind
To ascend with ever greater purpose
Through all the darkest times
To show us holy life
Throughout the years of life
A vow of love
