Grant me strength to serve Thee,
    put purpose in my days ...

Give me understanding,
    enough to make me kind.

So I may judge all people
    with my heart and not my mind ...

And teach me to be patient
    in everything I do.

Content to trust Thy Wisdom
    and to follow after Thee ...

And help me when I falter
    and hear me when I pray

And receive me in Thy Kingdom
    to dwell with Thee some day.
