Lord,
1. Teach me, when I’m foolish;
Forgive, when I’m unkind.
2. Save me, when in danger;
Soothe, when I’m maligned.
3. Brace me, when I’m tempted;
Console, when I’m afraid.
4. Warn me, when I’m angry;
Calm, when I’m betrayed.
5. Hold me, when I suffer;
Support, when I despair,
6. And guide my soul in death, Lord,
T0 meet you in the air.
