Help me Lord to do my task
This is my prayer to Heaven above
For these are the children whom I love.
Dearest Lord in Heaven above
Here are my children whom I love
Protect their lives throughout the years
Keep them safe from want and fears
Guide their footsteps while they walk
Curb their tongues (sic) from evil talk
Words of love and kindliness
In another’s time of stress
Keep them pure in mind and soul
Striving for the highest goal
And all wickedness distain
Celestial glory to attain
May I always do my part
To instill within their heart
Wisdom, courage, righteousness
For this will be their happiness
Edna Bond
