O’ God our father,
Behold us assembled here
To thank thee for the place we dwell in,
For the love that unites us,
For the peace accorded us this day
And for the hope with which
We expect the morrow.
As the clay to the potter,
And the windmill to the wind,
We beseech of thee,
O’ Lord, for this help and mercy.

Now we shall sing "abide with me " ...1......2 the school captain commands and evreyone starts singing.The fun part is even the school captain generally doesn't know the wordings/lyrics properly. So mostly they say "axom axom" .Actually everyone tries to follow the choir party as 90% of us just mumble with the assembly .I was there in the choir party when i was in class VI "hehe".i was so excited as we had a separate space to stand.Anyways am sure most of the ssgians dont know the Hymn properly.so i hope this should help.
School Savdhan.
now we shall sing abide with me
1..............2
Abide with me; fast fails the even tide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide;
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee.
Help of the helpless, O abides with me
Swift to its close ebbs out of life's little day,
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away,
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Thou who changes not, abide with me.
Come not in terrors, as the king of kings;
But kind and good with healing in thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea;
Come, friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
I need thy presences every passing hour;
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Oh, abide with me.
I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death's sting? Where grave the victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
Be thou thyself before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies,
Heavens' morning breaks and earth's vain shadow flee
In life, in death, 0' Lord abide with me.
