Through time the IJ Spirit
Passes down unseen.
It calls us forth to action;
It comes from deep within.
It draws us all together,
One fam'ly in the Lord,
So let us give each other our word:
We'll show the IJ Spirit
Burning in our hearts,
Shine the IJ Spirit
Everywhere we are.
We will reach out with compassion,
With hearts of charity,
Share the IJ Spirit,
Binding us as one family.
No matter what the challenge,
We will overcome.
We're here to hold each other;
Our hearts will beat as one.
We're IJ friends for ever,
Wherever we may go,
And we will keep the spirit aglow:
We'll show the IJ Spirit
Burning in our hearts,
Shine the IJ Spirit
Everywhere we are.
We will reach out with compassion,
With hearts of charity,
Share the IJ Spirit,
Binding us as one family.
Simple in virtue and steadfast in duty,
Let us be mirrors of God's radiant beauty.
We'll show the IJ Spirit
Burning in our hearts,
Shine the IJ Spirit
Everywhere we are.
We will reach out with compassion,
With hearts of charity,
Share the IJ Spirit,
Binding us as one,
Share the IJ Spirit,
Binding us as one family,
Binding us as one family,
Binding us as one family,
Binding us as one family,
One IJ family!
