1.

Help me to be quiet,
in Your work abide,
Be content with little;
mold me as Your bride.

2.

Help me to be patient,
share my lot here, too,
With the ones who’ve suffered
in the flesh with You.

3.

Where the fleshly strongholds
bar the way for me,
Help me to be steadfast
till I’m truly free.

4.

Through Thy Word, Lord, give me
deep acknowledgment.
Everything that happens
for my good is sent.

5.

Critical of others
I’ll no longer be.
In Your Word reflected,
my own need I’ll see.
