The Chester Prayer

Give me a good digestion Lord and also something to digest;
Give me a healthy body Lord with sense to keep it at it's best.

Give me a healthy mind good Lord to keep the good and pure in sight
Which, seeing sin, is not appalled but finds a way to set it right;
Give me a mind that is not bored, that does not whimper, whine or sigh,
Don't let me worry over-much about this fussy thing called ''I'';

Give me a sense of humour Lord, the grace to see a joke,
To get some happiness from life and pass it on to other folk.

This prayer is to be found in Chester Cathedral.
