God's Pupils in Waiting

TEACH US, dear Lord, to follow Your ways

And live for Your glory all of our days.

IMPLANT IN US holiness, with fruits that shine;

TEST US through trials and sins that refine.

IMPART IN US Your amazing grace to sustain,

And give us Your hope, knowing all is ordained.

EDUCATE US through Your school of discipline,

And help us to endure and run the race to win.

ERASE IN US pride and drive us to our knees

When we think of Your sacrifice and love that frees.

INSTILL IN US faith as we look to You,

And give us thanks for all You do!

TRAIN US to see the follies of earth as we roam,

And keep our eyes fixed on our Master and Home!
