福德正神安閭里
慈眉善目聽眾求
人間瑣事理不完
權充菩提道資糧
應弟子綿延之請而作

Praise to District Earth Gods
Praise to District Earth Gods Yutang Lin
Righteous Gods of merits and virtues
Guardians of our neighborhood
With merciful features and kind attention
Daily listening to people's requests
Trifles of human affairs seeking help
No end in sight of their pouring in
With intention to accumulate merits toward Enlightenment
You busy yourselves with such matters
Note: Tu Di Gong, earth gods of small localities, are popular deities in Asian countries. They serve as guardians for the peace and prosperity of small districts, and are worshipped by local people.
Upon request from disciple Mian Yan
