Lord and Savior, True and Kind

Lord and Sav­ior

true and kind

Be the Mas­ter of my mind;

Bless

and guide

and strength­en still

All my pow­ers of thought and will.

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.

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.

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.

Striving

think­ing

learn­ing

still

Let me fol­low thus Thy will

Till my whole glad na­ture be

Trained for du­ty and for Thee.
