- The prayers I learned at home are:-
Thank God for loyal friends of ours
Who guard us every day,
When joys depart, when sorrows come,
When hope seems far away.
When close to every path we walk
Are clouds of black despair
Sure all the saints of Ireland,
A shining band, are there.
They march with every faithful soul
In gladness and in woe,
They watch above our exiled ones
Where 'er on earth they go;
O, when we thread the road of death
At ending of the day,
May all the Saints of Ireland
Be with us on the way. A prayer said when going on a journey.A night prayer.
May the Will of God be done by us!
May the death of the Saints be won by us!
And the light of the Kingdom begun in us"
May Jesus, the child, be beside my bed,
May the Lord of Mercy uplift my head;
May the Virgin her brightness shed,(continues on next page)
