    Prayers to Jesus
    Jesus, my Saviour, my God, my friend,
    In life and in death my soul defend,
    In joy and sorrow, in good and ill,
    Be thou my hope, and protector still,
    Grant, I may walk in thy footsteps bright.
    Glorious Jesus be thou my light,
    Grant I may never desert thy side,
    Crucified Jesus, be thou my guide.
    "A Morning Prayer"
    O Jesus, Mary and Joseph, blest,
    I humbly kneel and pray,
    That you will look on me with love,
    And bless me all the day.
    I offer you my thought and words,
    And everything I do,
    My study and my hours of play,
    I offer up to you.
    O keep me fron the stain of sin, and pleasing in thy sight,
    And guard my footsteps,
    Till I seek your blessing for the night.
