There, in 1852, he took (with other prizes) the Chancellor's Prize in English verse, and graduated in first-class classical honours in 1854. In the same year he entered Holy Orders, and was subsequently for some time an assistant master at Harrow School.

He was also appointed in 1869 a Chaplain to the Queen, and in 1883, Archdeacon of Westminster. Archdeacon Farrar has achieved a high reputation both as a writer and a preacher. He is the author of some volumes of fiction for the young which soon attained great popularity, as well as of several important works in the departments of philology and theology. Of the latter, his Life of Christ and Life and Work of St. Paul are the best known. As a preacher, Archdeacon Farrar stands in the first rank as a master of graceful eloquence. His contributions to hymnody include, "Father, before Thy throne of light," "God and Father, great and holy," and a beautiful carol, "In the fields with their flocks abiding."
