The College Morning Prayer

Almighty and Everlasting God, who dost fill all things with thy presence, may thy blessing rest upon this College of St Mary Magdalene, upon the Master, Fellows, Scholars, Staff and all the members of the same. Prosper their endeavours, promote their studies, and purify their minds even unto the perfect knowledge of thyself; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
