God send us men whose aim ’twill be,
Not to de­fend some an­cient creed,
But to live out the laws of Christ
In ev­ery thought and word and deed.

God send us men alert and quick
His lof­ty pre­cepts to trans­late,
Until the laws of Christ be­come
The laws and ha­bits of the state.

God send us men of stead­fast will,
Patient, cour­age­ous, strong and true,
With vi­sion clear and mind equipped
His will to learn, his work to do.

God send us men with hearts ablaze,
All truth to love, all wrong to hate;
These are the pa­tri­ots na­tions need;
These are the bul­warks of the state.
