Youth Servant

“Youth Servant”

Uphold my lowly soul, so close 
Let thy strong but tender gribs assail 
Drift through the loopholes of my pride at thy will 
So far beneath, build up a lowly force.  

Aid me lift the weary coil 
Set loose the fastened mode 
O my, to float once more far above my fall 
Where no more, my soul shall fold  

With me, a daily force may  
Where life & love for the young will give 
All my strength, as long as I live 
With brothers’ help, day by day.
