- May the Will of God be done by Us
May the death of the Saints be won by us!
And the light of the Kingdom begun in us
Many Jesus, the Child, be beside my bed
May the Lamb of Mercy uplift my head
May the Virgin Mary her brightness shed
And Michael he steward of my soul.Another night Prayer
Jesus Dear the day is ov'r
Now I leave my labours lights
And before I seek my slumber
Come to day a sweet good night
Would that I might tarry near Thee
Rest before thy lonely shrine
Thou wouldst wisper loving secrets
And I'd tell Thee all of mine
But I cannot linger Jesus
I must leave Thee for a while
Now bestow on me a blessing
And a sweet approving smile
I would leave my heart beside Thee
It would rest securest there
And in Thy Son embraces
It would grow to Thee more dear(continues on next page)
