Lord and Sav­ior, true and kind,
Be the Mas­ter of my mind;
Bless, and guide, and strength­en still
All my pow­ers of thought and will.

While I ply the scho­lar’s task,
Jesus Christ, be near, I ask;
Help the me­mo­ry, clear the brain,
Knowledge still to seek and gain.

Here I train for life’s swift race;
Let me do it in Thy grace;
Here I arm me for life’s fight;
Let me do it in Thy might.

Thou hast made me mind and soul;
I for Thee would use the whole;
Thou hast died that I might live;
All my pow­ers to Thee I give.

Striving, think­ing, learn­ing, still,
Let me fol­low thus Thy will,
Till my whole glad na­ture be
Trained for du­ty and for Thee.
