BEATIFUL PAGADIAN

Pagadian is a beautiful city

Just like a pearl on the southern sea LOURDES NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
With its people so friendly and sincere Lourdes, Pagadian City
Pagadian so wonderful to stay
Every garden is filled with red roses
And the sound of loving music fills the air STUDENT’S MANUAL
Lovers in the park sweetly strumming guitar
Pagadian, you’re always in my heart
People feel the joy and pride of peaceful living
Thy verdant hills and valleys rich where rivers flow
Breezes from the ocean blue refresh us the whole night through
Pagadian, I shall always be with you//

Universal Prayer 1: OH GOD ALMIGHTY

Oh God Almighty, behold us, your loving children, offering thee

today our works and studies.
Help us, dear Lord, to be obedient to our teachers, kind to our
companions, diligent to our studies so that we may merit the
blessing of ourselves, our school and our beloved country, the
Philippines. Amen

Universal Prayer 2: OUR GOD IN HEAVEN

Our God in heaven, holy be your name, your kingdom come,

your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who
sin against us. Do not bring us to the test but deliver us from
evil. Amen
