Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Hymnbook #468 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose feet have climbed life's hill,
And trod the path of youth,
Our Saviour and our Brother still,
Now lead us into truth.
2 The call is Thine: be Thou the Way,
And give us men, to guide;
Let wisdom broaden with the day,
Let human faith abide.
3 Who learn of Thee the truth shall find,
Who follow, gain the goal;
With reverence crown the earnest mind,
And speak within the soul.
4 Awake 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. Topics: Christ Teacher; Purpose; Schools; Truth; Youth, Hymns for; Church, The Youth, Hymns for Scripture: Luke 2:40 Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS
