Give us Lord
a bit of sun
a bit of work and
a bit of fun.
Give us in all the struggle
and sputter
Our daily bread and a bit
of butter
And a bit to spare for
others' sake
Give us, too, a bit of song,
And a tale and a book
to help us along
Give us Lord, a chance to be
Our goodly best, brave, wise
and free,
Our goodly best for our self
and others,
Until all men learn to live as
brothers.
Amen
