Go Forth To Life, O Child Of Earth!
Still Mindful Of Thy Heavenly Birth;
Thou Art Not Here For Ease, Or Sin,
But Manhood’s Noble Crown To Win.
Tho’ Passion’s Fires Are In Thy Soul,
Thy Spirit Can Their Flames Control;
Tho’ Tempters Strong Beset Thy Way,
Thy Spirit Is More Strong Than They.
Go On From Innocence Of Youth
To Manly Purity And Truth;
God’s Angels Still Are Near To Save,
And God Himself Doth Help The Brave.
Then Forth To Life, O Child Of Earth!
Be Worthy Of Thy Heavenly Birth!
For Noble Service Thou Art Here;
Thy Brothers Help, Thy God Revere!
