Tsung Tsin Christian Academy Day 1 Big Group Sharing 25th January, 2011

Academy Anthem Now thank we all our God, With heart and hands and voices, Who wond'rous things hath done, In whom Tsung Tsin rejoices; Who from our founding year Hath blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today.

Academy Anthem O may this bounteous God, Through all the years be near us, With charity and hope And lasting faith sustain us; O help Tsung Tsin to grow And challenges to face; Vouchsafe to keep Tsung Tsin Forever in Thy grace.

The Academy Prayer Almighty God, We beseech Thee To grant our academy Thy gracious favour That knowledge may ever be Enlarged and deepened; And all good learning Flourish and abound. Bless all who teach And all who learn; And grant That both teachers and learners, In humility of heart, May look ever upward unto Thee, Who art the Fountain of all wisdom; Who art the Fountain of all wisdom; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
