Lord, help me always be,
A simple woman of God,
A true child of the Most High,
The trusting apple of His eye,
The quiet joy of His heart.
Lord, help me ever be
The wife of my husband’s core,
The desire of his abundant love,
The enrichment of his pious state,
The treasured crown of his entire worth.
Lord, help me always be
A strong mother of stable faith
The right citation of their lofty hopes
The standing anchor of their thoughts
The ardent blessing of their willing words.
Lord, help me ever be
The supportive pillar of my home
The vigilant guardian of its base
The prayer covering of its place
The essence of its grace
Lord, help me always be
A woman of your word
The channel of your wisdom
The reflector of your light
The wonder of your works!
