O Thou whose feet have climbed life’s hill
And trod the path of youth,
Our Sav­ior and our bro­ther still,
Now lead us in­to truth.

The call is Thine: be Thou the way,
And give us men, to guide;
Let wis­dom broad­en with the day,
Let hu­man faith abide.

Who learn of Thee the truth shall find,
Who fol­low, gain the goal;
With re­ver­ence crown the ear­nest mind,
And speak with­in the soul.

Awake the pur­pose high which strives,
And, fall­ing, stands again;
Confirm the will of ea­ger lives
To quit them­selves like men.

Thy life the bond of fel­low­ship,
Thy love the law that rules,
Thy name, pro­claimed by ev­ery lip,
The mas­ter of our schools.
