PRAYER & PLEDGE

St Paul’s ICSE School

India is my country.
All Indians are/ my brothers and sisters.
I love my country,
and I am /proud of its/
rich and /varied heritage.
I shall always/ strive to be /worthy of it.
I shall give/ my parents,
Teachers/ and all elders, respect
and treat /everyone/ with courtesy.
To my country/ and my people/
I pledge /my devotion.
In their well-being/ and prosperity alone/
lies my happiness.

O God, infinite wisdom, the source of all
knowledge, bless all of us, bless our school,
bless our country and its leaders.
Good God bless our parents and teachers.
Almighty God we beseech you, enlighten our
minds, strengthen our memories and make all of us
good and loving children.

Good God as we have completed our studies today,
we thank you for this beautiful day.
Now we are going home, O God bless all who
have helped us today. Enable all of us to remember
what we have learned. O God watch
over us wherever we go.

Our Father in heaven.
Holy be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Do not bring us to the test,
but save us from evil.

Every dawn showers the rays of light
Every seed sprouts in the light so bright
The rays of knowledge, the grace of God
Awakens our minds to new horizons.

St. Paul’s school our bright sun
St. Paul’s school our wisdom
St. Paul’s school our sweet home
Shows the way and truth of life.

Every day our inner self is rejuvenated
Everyone is armed with wisdom and truth
We are taught the way of peace and love
To build tomorrow’s stronger nation.

She creates wings to fly and ways to walk
Leading us towards a bright future triumphant
We are the flowers of St. Paul
Let us glorify her with our actions.

God’s love is so wonderful
Oh, wonderful love
S o high you can’t get over it
So deep you can’t get under it
So wide you can’t get around it Oh, wonderful love.

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, let me sow pardon.
Where there is discord, let me sow unity.
Where there is doubt, let me sow faith.
Where there is error, let me sow truth.
Where there is despair, let me sow hope.
Where there is darkness, let me sow light.
Where there is sadness, let me sow joy.

I have come to thee to take thy touch
Before I begin my day
Let thy eyes rest upon my eyes for a while
Let me take to my work the assurance of
Thy comradeship, my friend
Till my mind with thy music to last
Through the desert of noise.

  • We are gathering together unto Him - 2 Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be We are gathering together unto Him.
  • We are praising together unto Him - 2 Unto Him shall the praising of the people be We are praising together unto Him.
  • We are praying together unto Him - 2 Unto Him shall the praying of the people be We are praying together unto Him.

We have come to praise you,
We have come to praise you,
We have come to praise you Lord,
Oh! deep in my heart I do believe,
In your love for me, Oh! Lord.

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

This little guiding light of mine
I’m going to let it shine ..(3)
Let it shine all the time let it shine

Hide it under a bush oh no
I’m going to let it shine ...(3)
Let it shine all the time let it shine …..

“ Take this little light round the world
I’m going to let it shine ..(3)
Let it shine all the time let it shine ….

Make my little light burn for thee
I’m going to let it shine ..(3)
Let it shine all the time let it shine….

Bind us together Lord
Bind us together with chords
That cannot be broken

Bind us together lord
Bind us together lord
Bind us together in love

There is only one God
There is only one King
There is only one body
That is why we sing

O give thanks to the Lord for He is good (3)
Yes, eternal is His love.

I will sing to my God never ceasing,
All my life, I will tell of His wonders,
He's the maker of all, earth and heaven,
Of the ocean, the seas and all they hold.

The Almighty is faithful forever,
He is just to the poor and the outraged,
It is He who gives bread to the hungry,
Who delivers the captives from their chains.

He gives sight to the blind in His mercy,
And He raises the lowly, the humble,
It is He who gives shelter to strangers,
Every orphan and widow He defends.
