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"

..as written in the old camp "Shawondasee" logbook, by my grandmother

Like Diamonds Thy Waters...
 

The lake
