The Computer Person's Prayer 
 ---------------------------- 
 
 Our program, Who art in memory, 
 Hello by the name.
 Thy operating system come, 
 The commands be done,
 At the printer as they are on the screen. 
 
 Give us this day our daily data, 
 And forgive us our I/O errors,
 As we forgive those whose logic circuits are faulty, 
 Lead us not into frustration,
 And deliver us from power surges. 
 
 For thine is the algorithm,
 The application and the solution, 
 Looping forever and ever.
 
 Return.

(Another Prayer)
Our program, who art in memory
hallowed be thy frame
in ram, as it is in virtual memory.
     
Give us this day,
our daily run,
and forgive us our hacked code,
as we forgive programmers before us.
     
And lead us not into deadlock,
but deliver us correct termination,
for thine is the object code,
and the dynamic linking
forever and ever,
     
unless ABEND.
