Classic Poem

1. O thou whose feet have climbed life's hill, And trod the path of youth,
2. The call is thine: be thou the Way, And give us men, to guide;
Our Saviour and our Brother still, Now lead us into truth.
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.
