Prayer of the day-19: "A Student's Prayer"

Creator of the universe,

We lift our minds to thee;

Enlighten them and lead our thought

In fearless liberty.

Let not our search for truth in things

From thee our selves divide;

Thou art the living Lord of truth;

Thy Spirit be our guide.

When minds are dulled with studying,

When words no life afford,

When fields of knowledge seem too vast,

Sustain us then, O Lord.

Let not the love of easy ways

Leave deeper truth unknown;

Teach us that power to learn and grow

Is found in thee alone

Make every desk an altar, Lord;

Our studying a prayer;

The Class-room doors cathedral gates

To those who enter there.

Let Science find in thee its Truth;

Technology, its Goal;

Philosophy its, noblest thought;

Thy Light makes knowledge whole.
