Institute Ode
A goodly thing it is to meet
In friendship's circle bright,
Where nothing stains the pleasure sweet,
Nor dims the radiant light.
No unkind word our lips shall pass,
No envy sour the mind,
But each shall seek the common weal:
The good of all mankind.

Mary Stewart Collect
Keep us O Lord from the pettiness: let us be large in thought, in word and deed. Let us be done with faultfinding and leave off self-seeking. May we put away all pretence and meet each other face to face, without self-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgement and always generous. Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, gentle. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight-forward and unafraid. Grant that we may realize that it is the little things that create differences; that in the big things of life we are one, and may we strive to touch, and know the great human heart common to us all. And O Lord God let us not forget to be kind.

Women's Institute Prayer
O Lord defend this institute with Thy Most gracious favour and direct us in all our doing with Thy wisdom, that they may be conducted in true charity and to the advancement of us, and also as well the Thy honour and Thy glory that we may pass through the things of this world as not to lose the things eternal through Jesus Christ Our Lord. -Amen

Institute Grace
We thank Thee Father, for Thy care
Food, friends and kindliness we share.
May we forever mindful be
Of Home and Country and of Thee
