At every formal Company Meeting, the Company Prayer is said by the Chaplain of the Company, taken from the original prayer composed in 1682 by William Annand, Dean of Edinburgh.

“Almighty and Eternal God: Thy servants now assembled implore, according to Thy precious promises, the pardon of all our offences, and Thy Holy Spirit to deliver us from falling into the snares of sin and Satan: Keep us O Lord, in peace, purity, brotherly love and concord, by removing pride, prejudice, passion, covetousness, and whatever may offend Thy Blessed Majesty. Bless our Queen and all The Royal Family, the Councillors and all the Incorporations of this city; The Master and all the Members of this Society, that we may have fellowship with Thee. The sea is Thine, and Thy hands formed the dry land: prosper us in our present undertaking with the bounties of both; Above all, with the bounties of Thy Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
