O God, in adoration we bring our thankful praise, for vision and vocation in long-remembered days; for those who taught and trained us the memory lingers green, and how your strength sustained us through all the years between. O risen Christ, whose teaching is life and health and truth, eternal wisdom, reaching the hearts of age and youth, may we in turn proclaim you the True and Living Way, and as their Savior name you to children of today. O Spirit, still inspiring all knowledge, truth and art, the questing mind inquiring, the understanding heart; in this and every nation a just resolve increase, to care for God's creation and walk his ways in peace. O God eternal, reigning a Trinity of love, our wayward world sustaining from that high throne above; in quietness enfold us, according to your word, in confidence uphold us to love and serve the Lord.
