THE SCHOLAR'S PRAYER

FOR STUDENTS:

The “Scholar’s Prayer” written by Cambridge University scholar H. C. G. Moule (1841-1920). 

Love and Savior, true and kind,

be the master of my mind; 

Bless and guide and strengthen still

all my powers of thought and will.

While I ply the scholar’s task,

Jesus Christ be near, I ask;

Help the memory, clear the brain,

knowledge still to seek and gain.

Here I train for life’s swift race;

let me do it in Thy grace.

Here I arm me for life’s flight;

let me do it in Thy might.

Thou hast made me mind and soul;

I for Thee would use the whole;

Thou has died that I might live;

all my powers to Thee I give.

STRIVING, THINKING, LEARNING

STILL, LET ME FOLLOW THUS

THY WILL, TILL MY WHOLE GLAD

NATURE BE, TRAINED FOR DUTY

AND FOR THEE.
