Prayers and Hymns

O Lord God, Creator of All!
Stretch forth your divine hand to guard and protect our country.

Preserve it from material and spiritual harm.

May it have peace with the neighboring countries and with all the nations of the world.

Help its people to bear each other's burdens and live in harmony with one another and solve their disputes amicably.

Endow the rich with a compassionate heart that in their plenty they may not neglect the poor.

Provide the poor with their daily bread.

Favor the workman with good health and the student with a mind to study.

Give Wisdom and tact to its leader especially when they have different decisions to make and give them courage and strength to adhere to what is right and true and honest.

Dear Lord, lead this country of ours to progress and prosperity and keep it steadfast in its faith in you.

Amen.
Father, We thank thee for the night
And for the pleasant morning light

For the rest and food and loving care

And all that makes the world so fair

Help us to do the things we should

To be to others kind and good

In all we do, in all, we say

To grow more loving every day
O God, You are the Truth and the Origin of all knowledge;
Bless our studies, which we consecrate to you.

Enlighten our minds; strengthen our memories,

And direct our wills towards what is right.

Grant us to seek the truth always and make us truly wise.

-AMEN
O God, infinite wisdom and source of all knowledge;
Grant that we may remember what we have learned.

We offer you our work and endeavors,

our failures and successes.

Forgive our shortcomings and give us the courage

to follow always the path of Truth.

-AMEN
Oh most loving God, say not that you will not help me.
You have all power in Heaven and earth.

Oh God, I have so sincerely struggled at my books and now I beseech you to never leave my side.

Inspire me to give the apt answer to every question. Assist me to write correctly.

You are the God of the whole Universe and mine in particular.

Oh God comes and lives in me.

Subdue every hostile power and grant me success in my examination.

Remember your power is above all others.

Do not forsake me at this moment.

Oh God, Lead me on the path of success and keep me safe under your mantle.

-Amen
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

and 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.
