| THE SCHOOL
PRAYER Since
the publication of Newman's prayer in our last
issue, a complete version of the form used at
School in the 1930's has been discovered among
material contained in the archives in Huyton
Library. The first portion is particular to the
School and the remainder by Cardinal John Henry
Newman.
Almighty God,
We remember the
Founder of the School, its Benefactors, its
Governors, its Teachers and its Scholars, as well
former as present, and all Others who hold office
in the same.
Support us, O
Lord, all the day long of this troublous life,
until the shades lengthen, and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed, the fever of life
is over, and our work is done. Then Lord, in Thy
mercy, grant us safe lodging, a holy rest and
peace at the last through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
