    (continued from previous page)
    God bless your hands, and bless your feet.
    Make them supple strong and fleet.
    God bless your limbs, and arms, and breast.
    And the heart that I love best.
    God bless the beauty of your face.
    Told about your Heaven's grace
    God bless your hair your lips your eyes.
    Keep them candid as the skies
    In everything you say or do
    May you be gentle, faithful, true.
    Where You may walk, may God divine
    Guard and bless you, son of mine.
    A Night Prayer
    May the will of God be done by us.
    May the death of Saint's be won by us.
    And the light of the Kingdom, begun in us.
    May Jesus the Child be beside my bed.
    May the Lamb of mercy lift up my head.
    May the Virgin Mary her brightness shed.
    And Blessed Michael be steward of my soul.
