Winnipesaukee Prayer
For many years I had a print out of a prayer I found here on the forum framed in my living room. For reasons unknown to me it is no longer there.
I love that prayer but had not committed it to memory. Can any one help me? I believe it began Like diamonds thy waters Like velvet thy trees.. and it ended something like And to God I implore Thy grace to return Again to thy shores Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks! |

Okay I found it!
It was from a post in 2007
Like diamonds thy waters Like velvet thy trees So pure is thy air,so soft is thy breeze That I am loathe to leave thee and from God I implore The grace to return again to thy shore |

"Like diamonds thy waters,
Like velvet thy trees, So pure is the air, So soft is the breeze, That I'm loathe to leave thee, And from God I implore, The Grace to return again to thy shore" by Edith M. Dolan Sept. 13, 1936 ..as written in the old camp "Shawondasee" logbook, by my grandmother |
