What are the lyrics of Boy Scout hymn?

Answer 1

The "Scout Hymn", also known as "The Chosen Way Hymn", was written by Ralph Reader of England. He was a recipient of the Silver Wolf, the highest award of The World Scouting Movement (analogous to the BSA's Silver Buffalo)

1. Now as I start upon my chosen way,

In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play;

Grant as I Promise, Courage, Lord for me

To be the best, the Best that I can be.

2. Help me to keep my Honour shining bright

May I be loyal in the hardest fight;

Let me be able for my task and then

To earn a place among my fellow men.

3. Open mine eyes to see things as I should,

That I may do my daily turn of good

Let me be ready, waiting for each need

To keep me clean in thought and word and deed.

4. So as I journey on my chosen way,

In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play,

Grant as I Promise, Courage, Lord for me

To be the best, the Best that I can be.
