Give me Your divine grace
and lead me, my Lord,
according to Your holy will.
1.
When many kinds of opposition and difficulties
increase around me in these days,
I am weak and may become weary.
Hold me up with Your strong and powerful hand
so that I will not grow discouraged.
Lead me, O Lord,
by Your abundant grace.
2.
Help me to consider all the hardships
of this wilderness journey
as crowns and blessings.
Fill me continually with Your grace
so that I may live faithfully.
O Lord, help me grow
by listening to Your Word.
3.
Help me take off and put away
my old sinful nature.
For as long as I live in this world,
give me the strength
to walk faithfully and truthfully
in Your ways, O Lord.
4.
May Your name be glorified through my life.
May Your love completely fill my heart.
May You increase in me
while I become less and less.
Let me disappear into You
and live completely in You, O Lord.
