Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #345 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 With joy we claim the growing light,
advancing thought, and widening view,
the larger freedom, clearer sight,
which from the old unfold the new.
2 With wider view, come loftier goal;
with fuller light, more good to see;
with freedom, truer self-control;
with knowledge, deeper reverence be. Topics: Humanist Teachings Hope; Reason and Science; Wisdom and Understanding Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW
