  1. Old Traditional Prayers

    1 Prayer of Consolation
    When you are weighed down with care,
    Seek the peace of God with Prayer,
    Your duty do, show your sincere,
    And he will help you never fear.
    So when by trouble you are oppressed,
    Trust all in him for he knows best,
    Be of good heart and lilt a song,
    What need you care if you do no wrong.

    Suffer me to taste of Thee,
    In my life's last agony,
    O King, O loving One.
    O Sweetest Jesus, Mary's Son.

    When the Great Master calls and you rise to answer your name,
    You will not not be asked whether you won or lost,
    But how you played the Game.
