6 SEMINARY HYMN - - - J. A. Benton, D. D.
Tune, "Formosa."

California, golden sandalled,
    Decked in robes of living green,
Flashing gems are in her girdle,
    On her brow a snowy sheen.
Throned upon her hills of beauty,
    Flowers and fields before her strown,
Waves her hand in wide dominion,
    Isles and oceans are her own.

Speed the day of her redemption.
    Haste, brave heralds of the truth,
Tell ye out Life's gracious story,
    Hallow now her radiant youth,
Hail the joy of her salvation,
    Reapers, bring ye in your sheaves.
Sing of faith in love, triumphant
    O'er a realm that Christ receives.
