Father in heav'n who lovest all. O 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 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.See also:

The university was established by the British-administrated government of Hong Kong in 1991, shortly before the handover of Hong Kong territory to China in 1997.

In the fast-changing economic world of the 1980s, both men realized Hong Kong's urgent need for a university t ...
