A Chant from Old 8arum
r~^ od be in my head
\JT And in my understanding ;
God be in my eyes
And in my looking ;
God be in my mouth,
And in my speaking;
God be in my heart,
And in my thinking ;
God be at mine end,
And at my departing,
Sung   by   the  monks   of
Old Sarum 700 years ago

Every thought of my reason was thine :

The days of thy glory to see ;
But the next dearest blessing that Heaven can give
Is the pride of thus dying for thee,      Tkorhas Moore

When for the truth he ought to die.
