The healthy frame, the steady nerve, the active pulse of flesh and blood, with these we dedicate to thee our manhood and our womanhood.

Verse 3

All gains of skill and fruits of thought, whate'er we know, whate'er we feel, humbly we bring that we may prove true servants of the common weal.

Verse 4

Fair visions of the good and true wrought into speech and kindly deed, these be our sacrament of love, our witness to the Christly creed.

Verse 5

King of the kingdom of our dreams, from dreams we turn to take our part in that beloved community where love is law in every heart.
