through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

ASSEMBLY: Lord, you make all things new!
PASTOR: Lord, this is a day in which we give thanks for Waldorf College, for the faithful service of our servant Luise V. Hanson and for the generations that have gone before us. For all who quest for knowledge and truth has brought us to this day, for all who will lead us forward into the new day of your future, we give you thanks.
