OUR LADY OF THE LAKE

              Our Lady of the Lake who guided those

                 Whose faith took root and grew,

          Whose foresight, toil and sacrifice did build

                  A church though they were few.

          Guide us who now do hold that church in trust,

                    May we take root and grow

              Into a parish that reflects God's love

                      And spirit here below.

               Our Lady of the Lake, O pray for us,

                   That God may grant us grace

           To grow in Faith and Hope and Love, and keep

                   Our Church a peaceful place.
