The mind is such a strange and incomprehensible thing. I woke up this morning with this old hymn going around in my head. We used to sing it at school. I couldn't remember all the words, so I "googled" it. What else! It comes from old English Episcopal liturgy but it's such an all-encompassing prayer. It covers all the bases.
God be in my head, and in my understanding;
God be in mine 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.
(Sarum Primer, 1558)
