Lyrics for Cranbrook Song

To the music of the hymn "God of Our Fathers" by George Warren and Daniel Roberts.

O God of Light and Universal Truth! Thou patient Guide and Friend of Joyous Youth Before Thee now we humbly stand and pray To guard our steps and rule our lives always.

Grant us to do our daily task with zeal, May all our work a common service seal, From base design, from selfish aim set free Mould Thou our lives, O Lord, in loyalty.

Give strength to tread the rugged path of Right, To falter not, but wage a noble fight, To know a friend, to live the words "Aim High," To play the man, and fearlessly to die.

Cranbrook! Whose sculptured stone and iron shaft Bespeaks the skillful hand of every craft, One perfect Unity shall ever stand To bless the purpose of a generous hand.

Cranbrook! Thy name a glowing symbol live! To future sons an inspiration give. Tho’ eyes grow dim, tho' strength be past, yet wee Till life is done shall ever cherish Thee. Amen.
