Give me understanding,
Enough to make me kind,
So I may judge all people
With my heart and not my mind.

Teach me to be patient
In everything I do,
Content to trust your wisdom
And to follow after you.

Help me when I falter
And hear me when I pray,
And receive me in Thy kingdom
To dwell with Thee someday.
