God of Our Youth, to Whom We Yield

lyricist: William Forbush, 1911
Composer: George Blanchard, 1898

God of our youth

to whom we yield

The trib­ute of our ea­ger praise

Upon the well con­test­ed field

And mid the glo­ry of these days

God of our youth

be with us yet

Lest we for­get

lest we for­get.

Sturdy of limb

with bound­ing health

Eager to play the he­ro’s part

Grant to us each that great­er wealth

An un­de­filed and loy­al heart

God of our youth

be Thou our might

To do the right

to do the right.

When from the field of mi­mic strife

Of strength with strength

And speed with speed

We face the stern­er fights of life

As then our strength in time of need

God of our youth

in­spire us still

To do Thy will

to do Thy will.
