My dearest Lord,

Be Thou a bright flame before me,

Be Thou a guiding star above me,

Be Thou a smooth path beneath me,

Be Thou a kindly shepherd behind me,

Today and evermore.

Almighty Father, son and Holy Spirit,

Eternal ever blessed God.

To me unworthy servant, to me allow

That I may keep a door in heaven.

The smallest door, the one that is least used.

But in your house, O Lord,

That I may see your glory, even from afar,

And hear your voice, O God, and know

That I am with You – You, O God.

May the strength of God pilot us,

And the power of God preserve us.

May the wisdom of God instruct us,

And the hand of God protect us.

May the way of God direct us,

And the shield of God defend us,

And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
