Covenant                               Love is the spirit of this church,

                                                and reason is its guide.

                                                To dwell together in peace,

                                                to seek truth in freedom,

                                                and to serve human need:

                                                this is our covenant.

Sung Response                    May love shine forth through us today

                                                May light of reason guide our way

                                                May beauty, truth, and joy become

                                                A flame that burns in everyone.
