Accept, O Lord, we pray,

Accept, O Lord, we pray, The humble prayers we bring, As on this joyful day We laud our Founder King. Our lives so guide, That all our days May in thy praise Be glorified. All ye, whose days were few Upon this earthly scene, With him give praises due For all that since hath been. That purpose bold, Which once did seem Mere boyhood's dream, We now uphold. To thee we now draw near, and for our comrades, Lord, Who loved and served thee here Our thankful praise accord. May we fulfil From age to age Our heritage, As thou dost will. To thank our Founder King, With grateful hearts we raise Our anthems, echoing Thy glory and thy praise. Assembled here His school* doth own In frailty shown That vision clear. * Shrewsbury |
Laudationes has ausculta, Domine, pro Fundatore quas hac ferimus die. Laudantibus illumines nostros dies, dum vivimus. Vitae quibus fuit hic spatium breve, quid post evenerit, cum eo canite. Quod somnium visumst leve puertiae fit hic ratum. Te prope, Domine, nos pro sodalibus, qui coluere te hic, grates agimus. Et tradita quae liquerint, probata sint per saecula. Tibi ut sacramus hunc canorem, Domine, sic Fundatori nunc agantur gratiae. Testes sumus quod fuit is ut fragilis sic providus. |
