Lead us not into non-linearity,
for unwanted harmonics are produced
And spare us the trials of oxidation,
the fuzzy connector and the solder joint cold

But lead us into the path of true conduction,
the metal bright and the iron hot
And protect us from the hazardous voltage,
may our insulators never fail

Lift up our eyes to the correct value
for the component position
And clarify our sight, so our mistakes at night
don't look right the next day

Amen
