Service to Thee

Augustus Todd, a cleric of Paladine, wrote a poem in the year 1175 PC called "The Crown, Sword, and Rose" and the prolific Solamnic composer Thomas Walton set it to music in the year 1141 PC. Along with "Rock of Whitestone," this hymn, "Service to Thee," os probably the most frequently performed at Solamnic ceremonies.

Traditional Solamnic Hymn


1. Service to thee, unquestioning be,
The Knights of the Crown value loyalty.
Faithful and true, in all that they do,
The Oath and the Measure define.
Devoted to serve, never to swerve,
While aiding the brethren of Paladine.

2. Power to fight, evil to smithe,
The Knights of the Sword battle day or night.
Challenging foes, regardless of woes,
Protecting what's right and devine.
Courageously stay, never to stray,
While fighting the battles of Paladine.

3. Honor to show, good deeds to sow,
The Knights of the Rose help where 'er they go.
Selflessly give, righteously live,
To follow a higher design.
Noble and just, their lives they entrust,
To uphold the standards of Paladine.
