Oh! let Thy Spirit grace and strength provide me,
And gently guide me.
Then shall I see Thy grace, and duly prize it,
For Thee renounce the world, for Thee despise it;
Then of my life Thy Laws shall be the measure,
Thy Will my pleasure.
For Thee I fain will bear all griefs and losses,
No persecution, no disgrace or crosses,
No pains of death or tortures e’er shall move me,
Howe’er they prove me.
