Lyrics

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.
