Pro Veritate

May courage fill my heart to own

The truth in spite of every foe

And though this world hates to be shown

It’s sin, it’s wickedness and woe,

Be this my life and battle cry:

“Pro Veritate” why I die.

May mercy gentle every pain

That truth shall make the sinner feel

And once the heart is pure again

May truth also have strength to heal.

Be this my life and battle cry:

“Pro Veritate” why I die.

May I be true to truth fore’er

And never falter ‘neath the gale

For truth’s the greatest cause to dare

And only light that will not fail.

Be this my life and battle cry:

“Pro Veritate” why I die.
