Surrender and Sincerity Through All


Let not this body fail before its time

Nor I grow old forgetting why I came,

Before me rear the mountains I must climb

And the untoward desires I must tame.


Let me remember those who blazed the path

That hardly I have followed on my way,

Calm this heart, the surging seas of wrath,

Impatient mind that often rules the day.


Lead thou my soul towards the fields of peace

Let me not rest unduly, nor let me fall,

I ask of thee but two things to increase,

Surrender and sincerity through all.
