My Little Prayer

Blessed are the day
     For they make us gay
      Blessed is my every way
       This I say

         even every time I pray
           Blessed will I be in the day
            For me every good thing has come to stay
             To every disaster, this I say nay

               Lord, grant me more mercy each day
                To you I have nothing to pay
                  And today as ever, let the sun shine its ray
                    So it can lighten up my way

                       Lead me never to go astray
                         When I'm sober and when I play.
