Father, bless our school today;
Be in all we do and say;
Be in every song we sing,
Every prayer to Thee we bring.

Jesus, well belovèd Son,
May Thy will by us be done;
Come and meet with us today;
Teach us, Lord, Thyself, we pray.

Holy Spirit, mighty power,
Consecrate this Lord’s day hour;
Unto us Thine unction give;
Touch our souls that we may live.
