  1. "As I looked up, as I looked down,
    I saw the B.V. coming down
    A prayer-book in her hand & the child Jesus in her arms
    I lose the gates of hell and open the gates of Heaven to those we're bound to pray for."
    "I rise from this bed of sleep to adore my God & to labour for the salvation of my soul.
    Oh may I rise on the last day to praise my God for fo all Eternity."
    The Labourer's Prayer
    O God of Love who rules above
    Send us grace for our poor souls
    And Send us mate that we can ate
    And take away these tough old ewes
