Strong, Lord,  help our lives to be.                    
Give us needed strength we need;
For lives that are pure and chaste,        
Help us with each thought and deed.    

Help us set good examples,              
That help us avoid sorrows.
Others help us draw to you,                                                             
 Now and in life's tomorrows.
                                                      ­         
In the presence of your peace,
Help everyone to get there.            
When life's crosses are heavy,
Them, dear Lord help us to bear.    

Your ways help us to follow.
The truth, Lord, help us  to know.
