    And every movement of my hands,
    be an act of lore & respect for you. Amen.
    Live Jesus, live, so live in me,
    That all I do may be done by Thee.
    All I do or think or say,
    May be done for Thee alone to day - Amen.
    The will of God respecting us is that we shall live by each other's happiness and life, not by each other's misery or death - Amen.
    Kindness to the wronged is never without its excellent reward, Holy to human kind and ever acceptable to God - Amen.
    When I lay down to sleep
    To God I give my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake,
    To God I give my soul to take.
    There are four corners in my bed,
    There are four angels over my head,
    One to guard me, one to guide and
    two to carry my soul safe to God. Amen.
    Matthew, Mark, Luke + John,
    God bless the bed that I lie on,
