|
|
<p>Now in the days of youth,<br>
|
|
When life flows fresh and free,<br>
|
|
Thou Lord of all our hearts and lives,<br>
|
|
We give ourselves to Thee;<br>
|
|
Our fervent gift receive,<br>
|
|
And fit us to fulfill,<br>
|
|
Through all our days, in all our ways,<br>
|
|
Our heavenly Father’s will.</p>
|
|
<p>Teach us where’er we live,<br>
|
|
To act as in Thy sight,<br>
|
|
And do what Thou wouldst have us do<br>
|
|
With radiant delight;<br>
|
|
Not choosing what is great,<br>
|
|
Nor spurning what is small,<br>
|
|
But taking from Thy hands our tasks<br>
|
|
To glorify them all.</p>
|
|
<p>Teach us to love the true,<br>
|
|
The beautiful and pure,<br>
|
|
And let us not for one short hour<br>
|
|
An evil thought endure.<br>
|
|
And give us grace to stand<br>
|
|
Decided, brave, and strong,<br>
|
|
The lovers of all holy things,<br>
|
|
The foes of all things wrong.</p>
|
|
<p>Spirit of Christ, do Thou<br>
|
|
Our first bright days inspire,<br>
|
|
That we may live the life of love<br>
|
|
And loftiest desire;<br>
|
|
And be by Thee prepared<br>
|
|
For larger years to come;<br>
|
|
And for the life ineffable,<br>
|
|
Within the Father’s home.</p>
