GENEALOGISTS PRAYER

GENEALOGIST'S PRAYER



Lord, help me dig into the past,

And sift the sands of time,

That I might find the roots

that made This family tree of mine.



Lord, help me trace the ancient roads,

On which my fathers trod,

And led them through so many lands,

To find our present sod.



Lord, help me find an ancient book,

Or dusty manuscript,

That's safely hidden now away,

In some forgotten crypt.



Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts

My soul, when I can't find

The missing link between some name

That ends the same as mine.
