The Hurler’s Prayer
Grant me, O Lord, a hurler’s skill,
with strength of arm and speed of limb;
Unerring eye for the flying ball,
and courage to match them whate’er befall.
May my stroke be steady,
my aim be true, my actions manly, my misses few
And no matter what way the game may go,
may I rest in friendship with every foe.
When the final whistle for me be blown,
And I stand at last at God’s judgement throne;
May the great referee when he calls my name,
Say, “You hurled like a man; you played the game”. Amen.
