There'll Always Be An Episcopalian

There'll Always Be An Episcopalian

I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
May this fair dear Church we love so well
In dignity and freedom dwell.
Though Bishops may change and go awry
While there is still one orthodox voice to cry - - -

There'll always be an Episcopalian
While there's a dispute,
Wherever there's an orthodox small
'Gainst a Bishop of ill repute.

There'll always be an Episcopalian
While there's a labyrinth,
We'll voice our loud displeasure,
Until our dying breath.

Father, Spirit, and Jesus; what does it mean to us?
Surely you're proud, shout it aloud,
"Episcopalians, awake!"
The Anglicans too, we can depend on you.
Freedom remains. These are the chains
Nothing can break.

There'll always be an Episcopalian,
Who someday shall be free
From apostate priests, Bishops, and heresy,
If the Church means as much to you
As the Church means to me.
