Father in Heaven Who lovest all , Oh , help Thy children when they call ; That they may build from age to age , An undefiled heritage . Teach us to bear the yoke in youth , With steadfastness and careful truth ; That , in our time , Thy Grace may give The Truth whereby the Nations live . Teach us to rule ourselves alway , Controlled and cleanly night and day ; That we may bring , if need arise , No maimed or worthless sacrifice . Teach us to look in all our ends , On Thee for judge , and not our friends ; That we , with Thee , may walk uncowed By fear or favour of the crowd . Teach us the Strength that can not seek , By deed or thought , to hurt the weak ; That , under Thee , we may possess Man 's strength to comfort man 's distress . Teach us Delight in simple things , And Mirth that has no bitter springs ; Forgiveness free of evil done , And Love to all men ` neath the sun ! HOW FEAR CAME The stream is shrunk -- the pool is dry , And we be comrades , thou and I ; With fevered jowl and dusty flank Each jostling each along the bank ; And by one drouthy fear made still , Forgoing thought of quest or kill . Now ` neath his dam the fawn may see , The lean Pack-wolf as cowed as he , And the tall buck , unflinching , note The fangs that tore his father 's throat . The pools are shrunk -- the streams are dry , And we be playmates , thou and I , Till yonder cloud -- Good Hunting ! -- loose The rain that breaks our Water Truce . The Law of the Jungle -- which is by far the oldest law in the world -- has arranged for almost every kind of accident that may befall the Jungle People , till now its code is as perfect as time and custom can make it . You will remember that Mowgli spent a great part of his life in the Seeonee Wolf-Pack , learning the Law from Baloo , the Brown Bear ; and it was Baloo who told him , when the boy grew impatient at the constant orders , that the Law was like the Giant Creeper , because it dropped across every one 's back and no one could escape . `` When thou hast lived as long as I have , Little Brother , thou wilt see how all the Jungle obeys at least one Law . And that will be no pleasant sight , '' said Baloo . This talk went in at one ear and out at the other , for a boy who spends his life eating and sleeping does not worry about anything till it actually stares him in the face . But , one year , Baloo 's words came true , and Mowgli saw all the Jungle working under the Law . It began when the winter Rains failed almost entirely , and Ikki , the Porcupine , meeting Mowgli in a bamboo-thicket , told him that the wild yams were drying up . Now everybody knows that Ikki is ridiculously fastidious in his choice of food , and will eat nothing but the very best and ripest . So Mowgli laughed and said , `` What is that to me ? '' `` Not much NOW , '' said Ikki , rattling his quills in a stiff , uncomfortable way , `` but later we shall see .
