Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,

As we forgive those who trespass against us;
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. – Amen!
O my God, I offer you today,
My work, my lessons and my play.
My heart, dear God, I give you,
Protect it and keep it true. -Amen
Dear God, I thank you for this beautiful day. I thank you for my
teachers, and the good lessons I learnt from them. I thank you for
my companions and friends and the joys we shared today. I thank
you for the knowledge I gained, and the fun and the play. Thank
you for your loving care, here at school and everywhere. – Amen!
Come Holy Spirit of God, source of all goodness, fill us with your
gifts of wisdom, understanding and good memory. Enkindle in
us the fire of your divine love that we may be able to express our
thoughts, ideas and knowledge in the best possible way. – Amen!
God our father, we thank you for our parents, brothers, and sisters.
May your love, peace and joy reign in our families and may it be
deeply contemplative, intensely sharing and vibrant with joy.
Help us to stay together in joy or sorrow. Teach us to see you in
the members of our family. May we love each other more and
more as you love each one of us. Let us forgive each other’s faults
as you forgive our sins. – Amen!
O Lord, give us wisdom :
To deal with our children as You would;
To see in each of them Your holy image;
To develop in them a genuine love for all people.
Help us, to encourage them;
To discipline with kindness;
To guide them intelligently; And to pray always,
That they will be close to Thee all their life. – Amen
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through our Lord. – Amen!
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light and
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek:
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving, that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. – Amen!
- SCHOOL SONGS
We shall Overcome.
1) We shall overcome (3) some day;
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe.
We shall overcome some day.
2) The Lord will see us through ……
3) We’ll walk hand in hand ……
4) The truth will make us free ……
Liberation
Ch.: The world stands in need of liberation, my Lord!
It still has to feel your power.
The blind and the deaf, the dumb and the maimed,
All need to feel your healing touch.
The world stands in need of liberation, my Lord!
It still has to learn to love.
1) There are those who have eyes but refuse to see,
Their inhumanity to men.
There are those who have ears but refuse to hear,
The cries of men in agony.
2) There are those who have mouths but refuse to speak,
Against injustice done to men.
There are those who have hands but refuse to reach,
Them out in love and brotherhood.
Just like a Child
1) Just like a Child who trusts his father dear,
And who delights to feel his presence near.
Just like a child whose mind has not a doubt,
And whose heart is never proud.
Here I come, O Lord,
Here I come, just like a child.
Here I come, O Lord,
Here I come, just like a child.
2) Just like a child so weak he cannot stand,
But who holds firm and tight his mother’s hand.
Just like a child who sings in bright daylight,
Fearing not the long dark night.
In His Time, In His Time
1) In His time, in His time,
He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Lord, please show me everyday,
As you’re teaching me Your way,
That I do just what you say, in your time.
2) In Your time, in Your time,
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring,
With its winter and its spring,
May I fathom everything, in Your time.
3) There’s a time, there’s a time,
Both for sowing and for reaping there’s a time.
Time for losing, time for gain,
Time for joy and time for pain,
Every purpose under heaven has a time.
Showers of Blessing
There shall be showers of blessing,
This is the promise of love.
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need.
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessing,
Send them upon us, O Lord.
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honour Thy Word.
Showers of blessing ……….
There shall be showers of blessing,
Oh, that today they might fall.
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as all mighty we call.
Showers of blessing ……….
God will make a way
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way
(Sing it together)
Oh, God ……………………
By a roadway in the wilderness, He’ll lead me
(Rivers in the desert)
Rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade but His Word will still remain
And He will do something new today
Oh, God ……………………
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way
ऐ मालिक तेरे बन्दे हम
ऐसे हों हमारे करम
नेकी पर चलें और बदी से टलें
ताकि हंसते हुए निकले दम
ये अँधेरा घना छा रहा तेरा इंसान घबरा रहा
हो रहा बेखबर, कुछ न आता नज़र
सुख का सूरज छुपा जा रहा
है तेरी रौशनी में जो दम
तू अमावास को कर दे पूनम
नेकी पर चलें और बदी से टलें
ताकि हंसते हुए निकले दम …
जब जुल्मों का हो सामना तब तू ही हमें थामना
वो बुराई करे हम भलाई भरें
नहीं बदले की हो कामना
बढ़ उठे प्यार का हर कदम और मिटे बैर का ये भरम
नेकी पर चलें और बदी से टलें
ताकि हंसते हुए निकले दम …
बड़ा कमज़ोर है आदमी, अभी लाखों हैं इसमें कमी
पर तू जो खड़ा है दयालू बड़ा
तेरी किरपा से धरती थमी
दिया तूने हमे जब जनम
तू ही झेलेगा हम सबके ग़म
नेकी पर चलें और बदी से टलें
ताकि हंसते हुए निकले दम..
हम को मन की शक्ति देना
मन विजय करें
दूसरों की जय से पहले
खुद को जय करें) x २
हम को मन की शक्ति देना
भेदभाव, भेदभाव अपने दिल से
साफ़ कर सके
दोस्तों से भूल हो तो
माफ़ कर सकें
झूठ से बचे रहें, सच का दम भरे
दूसरों की जय से पहले
खुद को जय करें
हम को मन की शक्ति देना
मन विजय करें
दूसरों की जय से पहले
खुद को जय करें
हम को मन की शक्ति देना
मुश्किलें पड़ें तो हम पे इतना कर्म कर
साथ दे तो धर्म का, चलें तो धर्म पर
खुद पे हौसला रहे, बदी से ना डरें
दूसरों की जय से पहले
खुद को जय करें
हम को मन की शक्ति देना
मन विजय करें
दूसरों की जय से पहले
खुद को जय करें
हम को मन की शक्ति देना
तुम्हीं हो माता, पिता तुम्ही हो,
तुम्ही हो बंधु सखा तुम्ही हो
तुम्ही हो साथी तुम्ही सहारे,
कोई न अपना सिवा तुम्हारे
तुम्ही हो नय्या तुम्ही खिवय्या,
तुम्ही हो बंधु सखा तुम्ही हो
जो खिल सके ना वो फूल हम हैं,
तुम्हारे चरनों की धूल हम हैं
दया की दृष्टि सदा ही रखना,
तुम्ही हो बंधु सखा तुम्ही हो

Oh! Wonderful love!
So high, you can’t get over it
So deep, you can’t get under it
So wide, you can’t get around it

Let there be light
Let there be light in the world
Let there be light in the people
Let there be God in the land
From now on………………….
Let there be peace ……………………
Let there be Joy ………………………
Let me add my own among them.
Then when you smite your chords,
my heart will break its silence
and my life will be one with your song.
Amidst your numberless stars
let me place my own little lamp.
Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning
Give me oil in my lamp, I pray
Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning
Keep me burning till the break of day
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna
Sing hosanna to the Servant King
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna
Sing hosanna, let us sing
Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising
Give me joy in my heart, I pray
Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising
Keep me praising till the break of day
Give me peace in my heart, keep me loving
Give me peace in my heart, I pray
Give me peace in my heart, keep me loving
Keep me loving till the break of day
Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me bring your love,
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord,
And where there is doubt true faith in you.
Make ma a channel of your peace,
where there is despair in life let me bring hope,
Where there is darkness only light,
And where there’s sadness ever joy.
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in giving to all man that we receive,
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
There shall be showers of blessing,
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honor Thy Word.
There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.
