�HYMN TO JOY

I.
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

II.
All Thy worLs with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,

Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

uI.
Mortals,

join the huppy

chorus

Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

JOY

I.
Ioyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like fowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt awayi
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

il.
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,

Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
Ioyfrl music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Victors in the midst of strife:
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Heorts unfold like flowers beforeThee, Opening to the sun obove
Itltelt the clouds of sin ond sodness; Drive the gloom of doubt owoy;
6iver of immortol glodness, Fill us with the light of day.
2. Atl They works with joy surround Thee, Eorth ond heoven reflect Thy

Field ond lorest, vole ond mountoin, flowery meadow, floshing seo,
Chanting bird ond flowing fountsin, Coll us to rejoice in Thee.

3. Mortols, join in hoppy chorus, which the morning stors begon;
Love divine is reigning o'er us, Joining oll in heoven's plon.
Ever singing, morch we onword, Victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leods us sunword, In the triumph song of life.

Readings:

Job 28: 12- 28
Nicholette Doliva, Wilkes '07,
Communications and English
"But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding
dwetl? Man does not comprehend its worth; it cannot be found
in the [and of the tiving.

t te*

�The deep says, 'lt is not in me'; the sea says, 'lt is not with me.'

It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be

weighed in silver. lt cannot be bought with the gotd of Ophir,
with precious onyx or sapphires. Neither gotd nor crystal can

compare with it, nor can it be had for jewets of gotd. Coral and
jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond
rubies. The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be
bought with pure gold.
Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding
dwett? lt is hidden from the eyes of every [iving thing, conceated
even from the birds of the air.

Destruction and Death say, 'Onty a rumor of it has reached our
ears.' God understands the way to it and he alone knows where
it dwetls, for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything
under the heavens. When he estabtished the force of the wind
and measured out the waters, when he made a decree for the
rain and a path for the thunderstorm, then he [ooked at wisdom
and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it.
And he said to man, 'The fear of the Lord-that is wisdom, and
to shun eviI is understanding."'

Solving Human Problems Through
Transforming Human Attitudes
By His Hotiness, the 14th Datai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso
Ted Orelien, Wilkes'07, Biotogy

Of the many probtems we face today, some are natural
catamities'and must be accepted and faced with equanimity.
Others, however, are

of our own making,

created

by

misunderstanding, and can be corrected. One such type arises

from the conftict of ideotogies, political or religious, when
people fight each other for petty ends, losing sight of the basic
humanity that binds us a[[ together as a single human family.
We must remember that

J"g.4 I

�the different religions, ideotogies, and potitical systems of the
world are meant for human beings to achieve happiness. We
must not lose sight of this fundamentat goal and at no time
should we place means above ends; the supremacy of humanity
over matter and ideotogy must always be maintained.

Qur'an 2:268-9; 3:66; 4:1 13; 16:125
Salman Punekar, Wilkes '07,
Busi ness Admi nistration
... God is infinite, atl-knowing, granting wisdom unto whom He
witts: and whoever is granted wisdom has indeed been granted
wealth abundant. But none bears this in mind save those who
are endowed with insight.
Verity, you are those who have disputed about that of which you
have knowtedge. Why do you then dispute concerning that which
you have no knowledge? lt is Attah Who knows, and you know
not.
And but for God's favor upon thee and His grace, some of those
[who are false to themsetves] woutd indeed endeavor to lead
thee astray; yet none but themsetves do they lead astray. Nor
can they harm thee in any way, since God has bestowed upon
thee from on high this divine writ and [given thee] wisdom, and
has imparted unto thee the knowtedge of what thou didst not
know. And God's favor upon thee is tremendous indeed.

led by the Wilkes University Chorus
Joyful, joyfu[, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of [ove; Hearts
unfotd like ftowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.
Mett the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt
away; Giver of immortal gtadness, fitt us with the tight of day!
Att Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reftect

Thy

rays,

Stars and angets sing around Thee, center of

unbroken praise. Field and forest, vate and mountain, ftowery
meadow, ftashing sea, Singing bird and ftowing fountain cat[ us
to rejoice in Thee.
Mortats, join the happy chorus, which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us, brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward in the triumph song of life.

�Job 28: 12- 28
Michael Lewis, Witkes '08
Mechanica[ Engineering
"But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwetl?
Man does not comprehend its worth; it cannot be found in the land
of the tiving. The deep says, 'lt is not in me'; the sea says, 'lt is not

with me.' lt cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its
price be weighed in silver. lt cannot be bought with the gotd of
ophir, with precious onyx or sapphires. Neither gotd nor crystal can
compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gotd. Coral and
jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond
iubies. The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be
bought with pure gotd.
Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding
dwett? lt is hidden from the eyes of every tiving thing, concealed
even from the birds of the air.

Destruction and Death say, 'Only a rumor of it has reached our
ears.' God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it
dwetls, for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything
under the heavens. When he estabtished the force of the wind and
measured out the waters, when he made a decree for the rain and
a path for the thunderstorm, then he
looked at wisdom and appraised it; he
confirmed it and tested it.
And he said to man, 'The fear
of the Lord-that is wisdom,
and to shun evil is understanding.' "

�Romans 11:33- 12:2
Andrew Curry, Witkes '08,
MechanicaI Engineering
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowtedge of
God! How unsearchabte his judgments, and his paths beyond
tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who
has been his counselor?" "Who has ever given to God, that
God shoutd repay him?" For from him and through him and
to him are all things. To him be the glory forever!
I urge you therefore, by the mercies of God, to offer yourselves
as a living sacrifice, hoty and pleasing to God, your spiritual
worship. Do not conform yoursetves to this age but be
transformed by the renewa[ of your mind, that you may discern what is the witt of God, what is good and pleasing and

perfect.

Solving Human Problems Through
Transforming Human Attitudes
By His Hotiness, the 14th Datai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso
Kaittin Taber-Mitter, Witkes '08, Musical Theater
Of the many problems we face today, some are naturat catamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others,

however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and
can be corrected. One such type arises from the conflict of ideotogies, potitical or retigious, when peopte fight each other for petty
ends, losing sight of the basic humanity that binds us att together
as a single human family.
We must remember that the different retigions, ideotogies, and
potiticat systems of the world are meant for human beings to
achieve happiness. We must not lose sight of this fundamental goat
and at no time should we place means above ends; the supremacy
of humanity over matter and ideotogy must atways be maintained.

�Qur'an 2:268-9; 3:66; 4:1 13; 1 6:125
Liti Dibai, Witkes'09
Education and Spanish
... God is infinite, atl-knowing, granting wisdom unto whom He
witts: and whoever is granted wisdom has indeed been granted
weatth abundant. But none bears this in mind save those who are
endowed with insight.
Verily, you are those who have disputed about that of which you
have knowledge. Why do you then dispute concerning that which
you have no knowtedge? lt is Attah Who knows, and you know not.
And but for God's favor upon thee and His grace, some of those
[who are fatse to themsetves] woutd indeed endeavor to lead thee
astray; yet none but themsetves do they tead astray. Nor can they
harm thee in any way, since God has bestowed upon thee from on
high this divine writ and [given thee] wisdom, and has imparted
unto thee the knowledge of what thou didst not know. And God's
favor upon thee is tremendous indeed.
Ca[[ unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation,
and reason with them in the better way. Lo! thy Lord is best aware
of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those
who go aright.

A Prayer For Those Who Journey
By Joyce Rupp
Robert Biretey, Witkes '08, Computer Science

Response : Draw near, O God, draw near!
As we journey through

[ife, we face fear of the unknown, doubts,
hesitations, anxieties and insecurities...

Life is an unfolding mystery, sometimes a painful search and sometimes a
wonderfu[ discovery. When our hearts are restless because they are
pitgrim hearts whose Home is not here...
When our footsteps grow weary, when we stumble along the way,
discouragement and doubt so easily come forth to greet us...
We are a[ways learning what

we move atong the road of

to leave behind and what to take with us as
As we struggte to make good decisions...

[ife.

We encounter you, God, continuatty in the constant cycte of setting out
and coming home. Sometimes we atlow life to be so busy as we travel
that we miss your presence. When we need to stow our hectic pace...
Expectancy, anticipation, and courage rise up in our beings when we are
open to your ways, God of the witderness. As we search for reasons to
hope...

ln our journey, we need a strong conviction about the beauty and
goodness of [ife, a vision of hope that endures the pain and struggle, and
a thread of love that weaves through a[[ of our dreams. When we try to
hotd on to what gives our life meaning and

ln the name of Altah, Most Gracious, Most Mercifut.
Proclaim! in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who createdCreated man, out of a (mere) clot of congeated btood:
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountifut,He Who taught (the use of) the Pen,Taught man that which he knew not.
Nay, but man doth transgress a[[ bounds,
ln that he looketh upon himsetf as self-sufficient.
Verity, to thy Lord is the return (of att).
Be ye foremost (in seeking) Forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden (of
Bliss), the width whereof is as the width of Heaven and earth, prepared

for those who believe in Attah and His messengers: that is the Grace of
Attah, which He bestows on whom He pleases: and Attah is the Lord of
Grace abounding.
So say, "O my Lord! Grant Thou forgiveness and mercy! For Thou

Best of those who show mercy!"

lnspirational Reflection on Life
by Swami Yivekonanda
Nitasa Sahu, Witkes '09, Nursing
First, believe in the wortd-that there is meaning behind
everything. Don't look back-forward, infinite energy, infinite
enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience-then alone can great
deeds be accomptished.
This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse
anything outside, not to lay the btame upon anyone outside, but stand up,
lay the btame on yoursetf. You witl find that is atways true. Get hotd of
yourself .
Tett the truth botdty, whether it hurts or not. Never resort to
weakness. lf truth is too much for intetligent people and sweeps them
away, let them go; the sooner the better.
This tife is a hard fact; work your way through it botdty, though it
may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger.
This I have seen in life-those who are overcautious about themsetves fatl
into dangers at every step; those who are afraid of losing honor and
respect, get only disgrace; and those who are atways afraid of [oss, atways
lose.

"Face the brutes." That is a lesson for atl life-face the terrible,
botdty.
Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success
in it but through their absorption in that they also reatize the supreme
truth-Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whote heart receive

face

it

help from God.
What the wortd wants is character. The wortd is in need of those
whose life is one burning [ove, setftess. That love wi[[ make every word
tett tike a thunderbott.
We have to go back to phitosophy to treat things as they are. We
are suffering from our own karma. lt is not the fautt of God. What we do is
our own fautt, nothing else. Why shoutd God be btamed?
Fitt the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day
and night before you, and out of that witt come great work.
Knowtedge can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no
other way to know.

�Stand up, be botd, be strong. Take the whole responsibitity on
your own shoutders, and know that you are the creator of your own
destiny. Att the strength and succor you want is within yourselves.
Therefore, make your own future.

Don't Quit
Metissa Jones, Witkes '09, Biotogy
When things go wrong, as they sometimes wi[t,
when the road you're trudging seems atl uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and fattering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too [ate when the night stipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside outThe sitver tint of the ctouds of doubt,
And you never can tetl how ctose you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hitIt's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

�Romans 12:1-12
Amanda Karaffa, Witkes '09, Chemistry &amp; Education
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present
your bodies a living and hoty sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your

spiritual service of worship.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the witt of God is, that

which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given to
me I say to everyone among you not to think more highty of himsetf than

think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has
attotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have many members in
he ought to

one body and atl the members do not have the same function, so we, who

are many, are one body in Christ, and individualty members one of

another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to
us, each of us is to exercise them accordingty:

if prophecy,

according to

the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in
his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with

tiberatity; he who leads, with ditigence; he who shows mercy, with
cheerfulness. Let love be without hypocrisy Abhor what is evil; cting to
what is good.
Be devoted

to one another in brotherly tove; give preference to

one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in

spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering
tribulation, and devoted to prayer.

�Joyful, Joyful, We adore Thee
ted by the Wilkes University Chorus
Joyfut, joyfut, we adore Thee,
God of gtory, Lord of tove;
Hearts unfotd like ftowers before Thee,
opening to the sun above.
Mett the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gtadness,
fitt us with the tight of day!
Att Thy works with joy surround Thee,
earth and heaven reftect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
center of unbroken praise.
Fietd and forest, vate and mountain,
ftowery meadow, ftashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain,
catl us to rejoice in Thee.

Mortats, join the happy chorus,
which the morning stars began;
Love divine is reigning o'er us,
joining atl in heaven's ptan.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward
in the triumph song of [ife.
