| Text: | Youth of the race, arise |
| Author: | E. Fowles |
1 Youth of the race, arise
With hearts and faith aglow,
Lift up God's standard to the skies
And conquer every foe.
Follow the Christ your King
With loyalty supreme,
To work, and daily nearer bring
The Kingdom that you dream.
2 As knights in days of old
Proved valiant in the strife;
Your vows through thickening perils hold,
And win eternal life.
True comrades on Life's way
A loving service give;
And gladly live each flying day
As Christ would have you live.
3 Yours are the dawns of God
If but your strength endures;
The vast horizon, mounting road,
The opening portal, yours!
The great adventure take,
God's purpose to fulfil;
And He, who worlds from nothing spake,
Shall in you work His will!
