The Delta Kappa Gamma Song
Words by Annie Webb Blanton and Cora M. Martin Music by Lillian Mohr Fox Women teachers to the calling, Firmly rally, never falling, Duty ne're upon us palling, Staunch, courageous, we! Loyalty and trust e'er heeding, Mindful of our sisters needing Aid and guidance from those leading, Helpful may we be! To Delta Kappa Gamma Faith we pledge forever! Hand in hand, our loyal band, Forward, moving ever! Onward! 'tis our sisters need us, Courage, Faith and Honor lead us! Wrongs in truth and justice heed us! Firmly we shall stand! Guardians of the faith yet sleeping, For our sisters watch e'er keeping, Deeds of others now we're reaping, We for others stand! To us pioneers have given; We return their gifts to Heaven; Work for others is the leaven That inspires our band! Oh, Delta Kappa Gamma In thy fold we gather; Unity and Liberty Shall be our watchwords ever! Education e'er we'll further; Each is bound to each as brother, With this faith in one another, We shall win, for aye! Lyrics from Our Heritage, Volume I, published by The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, 1960. |

Almighty God, who hast created us and all that exists, we acknowledge that we are not owners of that which we possess, but rather steward of gifts which came from Thee. For intellect and the ability to guide those we lead and teach, we are humbly grateful. Lead us into loving service so that we might use our lives to help those we teach and in doing so glorify Thee through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Blessing
Bless our friends, bless our food. Come, O Lord and sit with us. May our talk glow with peace. Send Your love to surround us. Friendship and peace may they bloom and grow; bloom and grow forever. Bless our friends, bless our food. Bless our dear land forever. |
