This is my prayer to thee my Lord,
Strike, strike at the root of peneary in my heart,
Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service
And give me the strength
To surrender my strength to thy will with love
