Life owes me naught I've lived my day. Speaker or Bible reading (Ruth 1:16 - 17 ) 3. Poem, 'The Ivy' Pushing the clods o f earth aside, Leaving the dark where foul things hide, Spreading its leaves to the summer sun, Bondage ended freedom won; So let my soul like the Ivy be; Rise, for the sun shine calls for thee, Climbing up as the sea sons go, Looking d own upon things below; Twining itself in branches high, As if the frail thin owned the sky; So let my soul like the Ivy be; Heaven, not earth's the place for thee.

Wrapping itself round the giant oak, Hiding itself from tempest's stroke; Strong and brave is the fragile thing, For it knows one secret how to cling, So let my soul like the Ivy be; Hear the mighty One, Lean on Me. Green are its leaves when the world is white; For the Ivy sings through the night, Keeping the hearts of oak awake, Till flowers shall bloom and spring shall break; So let my soul through the winter's rain, Sings the sunshine back again. Opening its green and fluttering breast, Giving the timid birds a nest, Coming out from the winter wild, To make a wreath for the Holy Child. So let my life like the Ivy be. A help to man and a wreath for Thee. Basileus' Statement.
