    Old Prayer.
    (Skerries, Co. Dublin).
    To this divine altar
    I do go.
    I wish my heart as
    white as snow.
    And my body free
    from sin,
    Oh my sweet Jesus
    enter in.
    From this divine
    altar I depart.
    And my sweet Jesus
    in my heart.
    Depart from me the
    flames of Hell.
    And in my heart
    sweet Jesus dwell.
