Original text and translations

English text

O God, guide me with thy wisdom,
O God, chastise me with thy justice,
O God, help me with thy mercy,
O God, protect me with thy strength,
     Who died for me.

O God, fill me with thy fullness,
O God, shield me with thy shade,
O God, fill me with thy grace,
For the sake of thine Anointed Son,
     Who died for me.

Amen.
