Guard me from sin and hurt and snare.

Guide me to knowledge of Thy love

And keep my thoughts on Heaven above.”

That something in us never dies.’”

Not only to keep down the base in man

But teach high thought, and amiable words

And courtliness, and the desire of fame

And love of truth, and all that makes a man.’”
