O Merciful God, be Thou Unto me
A strong tower of defence,
I humbly entreat Thee.
Give me grace to await thy leisure,
And patiently to bear
What thou doest unto me;
Nothing doubting or mistrusting
Thy goodness towards me,
for thou knowest what is good for me
Better than I do.
Therefore do with me in all things
What thou wilt;
Only arm me, I beseech Thee,
With Thine armor,
That I may stand fast,
Above all things taking to me
The shield of faith,
Praying always that I may,
Refer myself wholly to thy will
Abiding The pleasure, and comforting myself
In those troubles which it shall please Thee
To send me, seeing such troubles are profitable for me,
And I am assuradely persuaded that all Thou does
Cannot be but well; and unto Thee
Be all honor and glory. Amen
