For our life, so young and pleasing,
Father, we

Praises never ceasing.

Let us, filled with pious feeling,
Waked from rest,
Neatly drest,
Humbly now be kneeling.

Neatly drest,
Humbly now be kneeling.
Give us, Lord, a zeal for learning;
Mercy we
Seek from Thee;
Make our minds discerning.

May we, through the love of Jesus,
Feel Thy power,
Every hour,
From sin to release us.
