1. Lord and Saviour, true and kind, Be the master of my mind; Bless and guide and strengthen still All my powers of thought and will. 2. 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.

3. 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. 4. 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.

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