The student hymn

To the tune "Eventide" by William Henry Monk (1823-1889).  

Engage with me;
Fast comes the exam stage.
My worry deepens;
Prof., with me, engage.
When all my time is gone;
and PANIC will not flee.
You, who know the answers;
Prof., engage with me.


It is also pertinent to note that this hymn is a favourite at Christian funerals and also sung at FA Cup finals since 1927 - the hymn of the Sweet F.A.  It is reputed that the band of RMS Titanic struck up with this tune as the great liner slipped beneath the arctic waters in 1912.

So, why wait until desparation sets in or it is too late.....engage with a Prof when the lecture course starts!
