Dear Lord and gentle Jesus,
Close to you Lord, there draw me          
Give to me an inmost calm,
Bestow on me your mercy.        

You know what is good for me,
And what I am in need of,
Dear Lord, with thy gentle heart,
Show me how I am to love.

During life when I am weak,
Give to me the strength I need,
Your wisdom, help me to know,    
So pleasing you, I'll succeed.

Gentle Jesus, just like you,
Holiness, help me pursue.
Give to me sufficient strength,
And make my life one anew.
