A song of prayer

fly light o’er the saints field
let cold December Be first rate<sleaty Blasts Blow kindely>
let them Be few, and soon pass By

let cold December Be first rate
how cold it may Be, none can tell
the ea[r]th well wach, preparing still

Blow softely wind o’er the mountains
where the m-ny indians tribs roams
may the salt lake Breezes Be soft
So that his salt A shore may Drift
4
o let jordon freese not over
so when catt-l Drink the[y] may Be sure
to return safely Back Again
to pasture upon the plain.
5
o let winters Be moderate
that man and beast may have to eet <eat>
let nether man nor Children
suffer cold nor hunger Amen
