A PRAYER

Hallgrim Petursson (1614-1674)
7.7.7.7.7.7
Jesus, Lord, remember me;
Ease my hour of mortal strife:
Let my children find in Thee
Guidance through this earthly life:
Write, with those dear names I love,
My name in Thy Book above.

8.8.8.8.8.8
My life I draw, Lord, from Thy Death;
Thy Cross my comfort perfecteth.
O let Thy Passion's mighty power
Work in my bosom from this hour,
And crucify me, Lord, that I
To Thee may live, to sin may die.
