Prayer

Dearest Father, Lord above,

Best of parents, God of love,

Thou in heaven my Father art,

Never let thy child depart.

I'm thy daughter, given to God,

Born of water, born of blood,

I would be thy faithful child:

Through my Saviour reconciled.

Jesus, Saviour, let me be

In behaviour just like thee.

Thou wast once a child on earth;

Make me thus of heavenly birth.
