| 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
