School Hymn
Father in heav’n who lovest all.
O help Thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.
Teach us to bear the yoke in youth.
With steadfastness and careful truth;
That in our time Thy grace may give
The truth whereby the nations live.
Teach us to look in all our ends.
Oh Thee for judge, and not our friends;
That we, with Thee, may walk uncowed
By fear of favour of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek.
By deed or thought, to hurt the weak;
That, under Thee, we may possess
Man’s strength to comfort man’s distress.
Teach us delight in simple things.
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done
And love to all men ‘neath the sun.
