AS UNTO HIM BY STANLEY S1-LENK The golden hour is Heeting fast, Our days of school are nearly past. The moments, like the sands of time Run swiftly out in flowing rhyme. 7 Our lives have flourished in this soil Cf Christian hope and love and toil. VVe here have ceased to seek for fame, And now We seek to praise His name. VVe thank our God that He has placed On earth a school Where He is graced. W7e thank our God, though eyes tear-dim That We now live As Unto Him. The lightning flames beyond the hill, The battle beckonsg stand we still? Nay, we cannot, for the iight Presses hard the hosts of light. CC 77 They stagger backward, hemmed by foes That press ahead in serried rows. They call for aidg We shall reply, And help them hold the bannerhigh. So now We gird ourselves with truth, And consecrate the fires of youth, As e'er We cherish and ne'er bedim Our sacred charge, As Unto Him. 1201
