PRAYER BEFORE SCHOOL.
For our life, so young and pleasing,
Father, we
Sing to Thee
Praises never ceasing.
Father, we
Sing to Thee
Praises never ceasing.
Let us, filled with pious feeling,
Waked from rest,
Neatly drest,
Humbly now be kneeling.
Waked from rest,
Neatly drest,
Humbly now be kneeling.
Give us, Lord, a zeal for learning;
Mercy we
Seek from Thee;
Make our minds discerning.
Mercy we
Seek from Thee;
Make our minds discerning.
May we, through the love of Jesus,
Feel Thy power,
Every hour,
From sin to release us.
Feel Thy power,
Every hour,
From sin to release us.
