Father of all, we come to Thee;
We own Thy care, Thy praise we sing;
Help us our truest loyalty
To Thee and to our land to bring.
Teach us to speak and do the truth,
The false in speech and deed to shun,
So that the honour of our word
May trusted be by everyone.
Help us to copy Thee, and do
The good that lieth near at hand;
Thus, daily helping, may we learn
How perfect is Thy law’s command.
O friend of all, help us to be
The friends of all; to understand
The meaning of true brotherhood
With every Scout, of every land.
Forgive us all the times that we
Have disobedient been and wrong;
We would obey Thy Holy will;
Against temptation make us strong.
When troubles come and thing go ill,
Teach us to seek from Thee the grace
That turns to heaven a trustful heart,
And to the world a smiling face.
Guard Thou our minds from thoughts impure,
Our lips from all defilement stay.
We are Thy knights, O make us strong
To follow Thee through all life’s way.
