Text: | O thou whose feet have climbed life's hill |

Tune: | NOTTINGHAM (ST. MAGNUS) |
Composer: | Jeremiah Clarke, 1669 - 1707 |
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. A-men.
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;
Conform 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.
