God of compassion,
in mercy befriend us;
Giver of grace for our
needs all availing;
Wisdom and strength for
each day do Thou send us,
Patience untiring and
courage unfailing.
Wandering and lost, Thou hast
sought us and found us,
Stilled our rude hearts
with Thy Word consoling,
Wrap now Thy peace,
like a mantle, around us,
Guarding our thoughts and
our passions controlling.
How shall we stray, with
Thy hand to direct us,
Thou Who the stars in
their courses art guiding?
What shall we fear, with
Thy power to protect us,
We who walk forth in Thy
greatness confiding?
