O leader, lead them into peace,
The hush of thought,
The quiet where our worries cease
And will is wrought.

O leader, lead them into prayer,
The look above,
The upward reach that touches there
The hands of Love.

O leader, lead them into zeal,
The sacred fire
Of hearts that holy fervor feel,
And never tire.

O leader, lead them into power
That aye succeeds,
So that this blessed, happy hour
May fruit in deeds.
