    (continued from previous page)
    The following prayers are said in the morning.
    When the eastern sky is red,
    I must raise my little head.
    When the lark sings loud
    And gay,
    I must rise with him and
    pray.
    Jesus, when I first arise,
    Unto Thee I left my eyes,
    Sign the Cross upon my
    brow,
    And my head in worship bow,
    Jesus let Thy Mother dear,
    Keep in me Thy love and fear,
    And my Guardian Angel send,
    To be with me as a friend.
    Mary, Mother, all the day,
    Close beside Thee, let me stay,
    Keep me pure from sinful
    stain,
    Till the night return again.
