O Comrade of the Human Heart,
O Son of Love Divine,
Partaker of our Life Thou art
And we would share in Thine.
In Thee is manhood glorified.
In Thee is God adored;
Our heavenly Brother, earthly Guide,
Redeemer, Friend and Lord.
To all our learning lend Thy light,
To all our work, Thy grace;
Help us to honour Thee aright
Until we see Thy face.
O Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
Who died to make us free,
In youth and till our latest breath
We’ll trust and follow Thee.
