Let Virtue Garnish thy thoughts unceasingly.
So that light and truth will always be your guide.
Let Virtue set your heart afire and righteousness;
your one desire.
Let virtue garnish thy thoughts.

CHORUS:
As a man thinketh, so is he.
What a woman holds in her heart, so is she.
If the is anything virtuous or praise worthy,
Then should we Seek after these things.

Let purity be in the very heart of you.
Put faith in the promise of our Lord.
If virtue guides unceasingly,
then faith will grow increasingly,
Let virtue garnish thy thoughts.

CHORUS

Let virtue garnish thy thoughts,
Virtue garnish thy thoughts,
Virtue garnish thy thoughts,

Thank you so much for the

Thank you so much for the music that you provide on your website. What a talent & what a service!! I [will] use your song "The Treasure Within" for our New Beginnings. In line with the 2007 Mutual Theme, we are using "Who can find a virtuous (young) woman? for her price is above rubies" as the theme for New Beginnings. The girls are going on a "Virtue-al" Treasure Hunt, and collecting tokens associated with the Young Women's values to go in treasure boxes that they decorated.
