The Christian Hymnary ‎#687

687. Lord and Saviour, True and Kind

1 Lord and Saviour, true and kind,
Be the Master of my mind;
Bless, and guide, and strengthen still
All my powers of thought and will.

2 Let Thy gracious presence rule
All I think and speak at school;
Keep me faithful, prompt, and keen,
At Thy side, my King unseen.

3 Here I train for life's swift race;
Let me do it in Thy grace;
Here I arm me for life's fight;
Let me do it in Thy might.

4 Thou hast made me mind and soul;
I for Thee would use the whole;
Thou hast died that I might live;
All my powers to Thee I give
