Regard none beneath your caring
But shoulder to shoulder trod
Son, be careful and be daring
For the kingdom of our God
Let love be your faultless weapon
Be not aimless in life’s quest
Run your race with grace-abandon
Seek the good and leave the rest
Learn the value of an hour
Earn the esteem you desire
Be the role model you look for
Be the man that you admire
Learn the value of an hour
Earn the esteem you desire
Be the role model you look for
Be the man that you admire
Guard your heart from impure hunger
Always do the best you can
Love and gratitude works wonders
In the spirit of a man
Let the health of labor please you
Love your neighbor as yourself
Keep the Handbook from God near you
Not dust-covered on a shelf
When life riles you, look to Jesus
Pray often and trust His word
He, our help for human weakness
He, our true hope undeterred
Ah, He is always beside you
Wise and kind, forever-Friend
In each struggle, let Him guide you
He is faithful to the end

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
