O God, give me of Thy wisdom,
   O God, give me of Thy mercy,
O God, give me of Thy fullness,
   And of Thy guidance in face of every strait.

O God, give me of Thy holiness
  O God, give me of Thy shielding
O God, give me of Thy surrounding,
   And of Thy peace in the knot of my death.

O give me of Thy surrounding,
   And of Thy peace at the hour of my death!
