For Teachers and Scholars
O LORD Jesus Christ, everlasting God, bless, we beseech Thee, the boys and girls of our schools; to the end that they may be truthful, pure, obedient, and ready to do their duty in that state of life to which it shall please Thee to call them. Give also to those whom Thou hast set over them, grace, so to bring them up for Thee, that teachers and scholars may meet with joy in the day of Thy appearing, Who livest and reignest with the Father, and the Holy Spirit world without end. Amen.
