O Thou whose feet have climbed life's hill

Louis F. Benson (1894) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 25:4-5

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

Awake the purpose high which strives, And, falling, stands again; Conform the will of eager lives To quit themselves like men:

Verse 5

Thy life the bond of fellowship, Thy love the law that rules, Thy Name, proclaimed by every lip, The Master of our schools.

Verse 6

Amen.
