I want to teach my students
How to live this life on earth.
To face its struggle and
Its strife and improve their worth.
Not just the lesson in a book or
How the rivers flow, but how
To choose the proper path wherever they may go.
To understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong
and gather all the beauty of a flower and a song.
For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace
Then I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place
And so I ask your guidance, God, that I my do my part.,
For character and confidence and happiness of heart.
