All your wise kindness, tender care, and love,
Through days of kindergarten, school and college.

All other gifts of God, this highest trust is,
The one great gift, beyond all power and pelf—

That I may guard my children and myself.

We played together, even-handed quite;
We went to school in every kind of weather,
