A Student’s Prayer

God, the all-wise, and Creator
Of the human intellect,
Guide our search for truth and knowledge,
All our thoughts and ways direct.
Help us build the tow’rs of learning
That would make us wise, astute,
On the rock of Holy Scripture:
Truth revealed and absolute.

O how vast the shores of learning-
There are still uncharted seas,
And they call to bold adventure
Those who turn from sloth and ease.
But we need Thy hand to guide us
In the studies we pursue,
And the presence of Thy Spirit
To illumine all we do.

May the thing we learn, so meager,
Never lift our hearts in pride
Till in foolish self-reliance
We would wander from Thy side.
Let them only bind us closer,
Lord, to Thee in whom we find
Very fountain-head of wisdom,
Light and life of all mankind.
