Eternal One, Thou living God, Whom changing years unchanged reveal, With Thee their way our fathers trod; The hand they held, in ours we feel. 2.

We bless Thee for the growing light; Th’advancing thought, the wid’ning view, The larger freedom, clearer sight, Which from the old unfolds the new. 4. With wider view, come loftier goal; With fuller light, more good to see; With freedom, truer self control, With knowledge, deeper reverence be. 5. Anew we pledge ourselves to Thee, To follow where Thy truth shall lead; Afloat upon its boundless sea, Who sails with God is safe indeed! Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW
