The Hymnal ‎#688

688. O Christ, who didst our tasks fulfill

1 O Christ, who didst our tasks fulfil,
Didst share the hopes of youth,
Our Saviour and our Brother still,
Now lead us into truth.

2 The call is Thine: be Thou the Way,
And Thine the hearts that guide;
Let wisdom broaden with the day,
Let human faith abide.

3 Who learns of Thee the truth shall find,
Who follows, wins the goal;
With reverence crown the earnest mind,
And speak within the soul.

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

5 Thy life the bond of fellowship,
Thy love the law that rules,
Thy Name, proclaimed by every lip,
The Master of our schools.

Amen.
