INSPIRE OUR HEARTS, OUR FATHER, DEAR.

Inspire our hearts, our Father, dear! Thy Spirit grant us ever near! The light of inspiration thine, Let thou on us in splendor shine. We pledge to do what e'er is right; To serve thee well by day and night; And seek to live by ev'ry word Proceeding from thy throne, Lord. We ask in Jesus' holy name. Help us accomplish this our aim. —Mels F. Green.
