As he fares to a far-off goal,
A body pure, and a mind unmarred,
And the light of a loyely soul.
Every youth has a task of his own,
For the Father has willed 1 it so,
He seeks the way, and God alone
Can show hiYn the way to go.
Every youth has a lovely Guide,
From the vale to the mountain crest,
And the unseen Friend who walks
beside
Is the way and End of the quest.
