• God grant me grace my prayers to say:
  O God! preserve my mother dear,
  In strength and health for many a year;
  And O! preserve my father too,
  And may I pay him reverence due;
  And may I my best thoughts employ
  To be my parents' hope and joy;
  And O! preserve my brothers both
  From evil doings, and from sloth,
  And may we always love each other,
  Our friends, our father, and our mother,
  And still, O Lord, to me impart
  An innocent and grateful heart,
  That after my last sleep I may
  Awake to thy eternal day! Amen.
