O –God – Infinite wisdom and the source of all knowledge grant that we may remember
– what we have learned. We offer you our work, endeavours – our failures and successes.
Forgive us our shortcomings and give us the courage – to- follow always the path
of truth. O Lord, keep us safe along the way.
1
O Lord make us instruments of thy peace. Teach us to show love where there
is hatred to pardon where there is injury bring faith where There is
doubt, light where there is darkness, Hope where there is despair and happiness
to all in misery.
2
Be thou within, me lord, To purify me, above me to draw me up, beneath
me to sustain me, behind me to restrain me, round about me to protect
me.
3
Where the mind is without fear And the head is held high; Where knowledge
is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow
domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless
striving stretches its arm towards perfection. Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habits; Where
the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action
Into the Heaven of Freedom my Father Let my country awake.
4
Blessed are the poor in the spirits, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted Blessed are the
meek, for they shall inherit the earth Blessed are they that hunger and
thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall
see God.
5
Our father in heaven Holy be your name Your kingdom come your will be
done On earth as in heaven Give us today our daily bread And forgive
us our sins As we forgive those who sin against us Do not bring us to
test But deliver us from evil.
Amen ......
