Another prayer before learning

Some readers may freak out a bit at the title, but I should remind you that the Druid revival in Wales -well Britain- from the Romantics onward was often related to Christianity; the Druids were seen as a kind of Old Testament -fulfilled in Christ (see Stephen Lawhead's Merlin for an example in novel form) Druid's Prayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Grant, God, thy refuge;
and in refuge, strength;
and in strength, understanding;
and in understanding, knowledge;
and from knowledge, knowledge of what is right;
and from knowledge of what is right, the love of it;
and from loving, the love of God.
God and all goodness.

It is used at the opening of Eisteddfodau and seems to me to be a rather nice prayer for learning in class.
