A Prayer for the CollegeO God our Lord, we give you thanks for our Founder,

Miss Katie Wilcox, and the great company of your servants,who in the past have served and built this institution forimparting knowledge and sound moral values. Let our collegebe a light of truth in a world of darkness, a witness to freedomin a world where many are enslaved by idols and ideologies, aplace where people will come to know the good and to knowyou, the Source of all good. - Amen.

A Student’s Prayer

Creator of the universe,We lift our minds to thee;Enlighten them and lead our thoughtIn fearless liberty.

Let not our search for truth in thingsFrom thee our souls divide;Thou art the living Lord of truth;Thy Spirit be our guide.

When minds are dulled with studying,When words no life afford,When fields of knowledge seem too vast,Sustain us then, O Lord.

Let not the love of easy waysLeave deeper truth unknown;Teach us that power to learn and growIs found in thee alone

Make every desk an altar, Lord;Our studying a prayer;The classroom doors cathedral gatesTo those who enter there.

Let Science find in thee its Truth;Technology, its goal;Philosophy its, noblest thought;Thy Light makes knowledge whole.

-J. Donald Hughes

COLLEGE HYMNS

HYMN - 1

1. Praise, my soul, the king of heaven;To His feet thy tribute bring;Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,Who like me His praise should sing?

Praise Him! Praise Him! (2)Praise the everlasting king.

2. Praise Him for His grace and favourTo our fathers in distress;Praise Him, still the same forever,Slow to chide and swift to bless;

Praise Him! Praise Him! (2)Glorious in His faithfulness.

3. Father-like He tends and spares us.Well our feeble frame He knows;In His hands He gently bears us,Rescues us from all our foes.

Praise Him! Praise Him! (2)Widely as His mercy flows.

4. Frail as summer’s flower we flourish;Blows the wind and it is gonebut, while mortals rise and perish,God endures unchanging on;

Praise Him! Praise Him! (2)Praise the high Eternal One.

5. Angels, help us to adore him;Ye behold Him face to face;Sun and moon, bow down before Him:Dwellers all in time and space

Praise Him! Praise Him! (2)Praise with us the God of grace.

HYMN - 2

1. O, MASTER, let me walk with theeIn lowly paths of service free;Thy secret tell; help me to bearThe strain of toil, the fret of care

2. Help me the slow of heart to moveBy some clear, winning word of love;Teach me the wayward feet to stay,And guide them in the homeward way.

3. Teach me Thy patience; still with TheeIn closer, dearer company,In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,In trust that triumphs over wrong.

4. In hope that sends a shining rayFar down the future’s broadening way,In space that only Thou canst give,With Thee, O Master, let me live

HYMN - 3

1. Make me a captive, Lord,And then I shall be free;Force me to render up my sword,And I shall conqueror beI sink in life’s alarmsWhen by myself I standImprison me within Thine armsAnd strong shall be my hand.

2. My heart is weak and poorUntil its master find;It has no spring of action sureIt varies with the windIt cannot freely move,Till thou hast wrought its chain;Enslave it with Thy matchless love,And deathless it shall reign.

3. My power is faint and lowTill I have learned to serve

98

It wants the needed fire to glow;It wants the breeze to nerve;It cannot drive the worldUntil itself be drivenIts flag can only be unfurledWhen Thou shall breathe from heaven

4 My will is not my ownTill Thou hast made it Thine;If it would reach a monarch’s throneIt must its crown resignIt only stands unbentAmid the clashing strife,When on Thy bosom it has learntAnd found in Thee its life.
