    A Collection of Prayers
    When going into the Church
    Before this church door as I enter in
    Outside the church door I leave all my sin
    Begging of the Redeemer of all men
    Never to let me be guilty of any more sin
    As I kneel down before this blessed altar
    making my moans to the Son and Father
    And the blessed lamb that's pressed with the crown of thorns
    May give me the benefit of this day's Mass and holy water.
    Mrs Holmes, (49 years)
