| Oh God, my faithful God,
True fountain ever flowing. Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing: Give me a healthy frame And may I have within A conscience free from blame A soul unstained by sin. |
Give me the strength to do With ready heart and willing, Whatever you command My calling here fulfilling. Help me do what I should With all my might, and bless The outcome for my good For You must give success. |
Keep me from saying words That later need recalling. Guard me lest idle speech May from my lips be falling But when, within my place, I must and ought to speak Then do my words give grace Lest I offend the weak. |
|
When dangers gather round Oh, keep me calm and fearless. Help me to bear the cross When life seems dark and cheerless. Help me, as You have taught, To love both great and small And by Your Spirit’s might To live at peace with all. |
