HYMN LX

A prayer for perfect bodily and mental health and vigour 1. May I have voice in my mouth, breath in my nostrils, sight in    mine eyes, hearing in mine ears, hair that hath not turned    gray, teeth free from yellowness, and much strength in mine    arms. 2. May I have power in my thighs, swiftness in my legs, stedfast-    ness in my feet. May all my members be uninjured and my    soul unimpaired.
