Rodney Young GAME PRAYER In the name of the Father, and of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit. In the battles that go on through life we ask For a field that is fair, Give us the strength to reach and to strive, The courage to do and to dare; If we should win let it be by the code With our faith and our honor held high, And if we should lose let us stand by the road And cheer as the winners go by. Our Lady Queen of Victory Pray for us. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit.
