Strong of body, high of spirit,
Valiant youth goes strid­ing forth;
His the sea­sons that in­her­it
All the trea­sure trove of earth.
Sky and sun­light, dream and la­bor,
Mountain crag and spark­ling shore,
Love of God and love of neigh­bor,
These are his for­ev­er­more.

Lord who liv­eth, youth un­dy­ing,
Thou who know­est this our path,
Move among us, still de­fy­ing
Nights of fear and gulfs of wrath.
Though our years are far and rang­ing,
We are young who walk with truth,
Hearts at peace that know no chang­ing,
These are thine, im­mor­tal youth.
