We give thee humble and hearty thanks, O most merciful Father, for our founders and benefactors, and for the lives of all who have served thee here. Pour down thy blessing, we pray thee, upon this school. Prosper our labours as thou in thy wisdom seest to be most convenient for us. Protect us, we beseech thee, from all things hurtful both to soul and body. Preserve us by thy Holy Spirit from sin and selfishness. And make us generous and brave, pure and true, in all our studies and in all our recreations: that, our tasks may being sanctified by thy love, our days here may be attended by thy blessing; and that, when our work on earth is over, thou mayest give us rest from our labours under the shadow of thy wings, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen
