Text: | Dear Lord, We Give Our Youth |
Author: | Calvin W. Laufer |
Tune: | [Dear Lord, we give our youth to thee] |
Composer: | Albert L. Peace |
1 Dear Lord, we give our youth to thee
In answer to thy call,
And pray our hearts may loyal be
To love thee best of all.
2 Show us each day what we can do,
Where'er our paths may lead—
To dare the right, to seek the true,
To comfort those in need.
3 May friendly acts, fair play, and love
Bring cheer to all around,
To dare the right, to seek the true,
To comfort those in need.
4 We've heard the call, and take our stand,
We know not what's before;
But we are thine with heart and hand,
To serve thee evermore.
Amen.
