Prayer of a Farmer

O Lord sprinkle clean water on me With your open hands do me welcome Free me from all idols For it is unworthy living among dead souls Was me clean from everything that defiles Erase my name from bad books and evil files In your mercy grant me a new heart and mind To create me more humane and make me kind Put your divine spirit afresh in me And see to it that I take thy laws home Make me keep your commandments as you wish Then feed me with your divine bread and fish Let me be yours and you my God forever While I deal the land that you gave me since ever Save from everything that deforms my body And keep my enemies a distant confused and shoddy Let my fields grow corn and beans in plenty While the flowers around bloom and remain scenty
