That prayer is also a part of the Monty Python film 'The Meaning of 
Life', which also contains the very amusing hymn in the same scene:

Oh Lord, please don't burn us,
Don't grill or toast your flock,
Don't put us on the barbecue,
Or simmer us in stock,
... and goes on in that manner for a little while longer; I can't 
remember the rest.

It's a good film... go out and watch it, if you haven't already.
