PRAYER by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE

First Line: LORD, AS THOU WILT, BESTOW / LIGHT EASE OR HEAVY BEARING
Last Line: THAT PEACE MAY POSSESS ME.
Subject(s): PRAYER;
LORD, as thou wilt, bestow,
Light ease or heavy bearing,
Still shall my day be sharing
Thy bounty's overflow.

Thy mercy oppress me;
Thy temperance bless me;
Lord, sternly or sweetly,
Employ me discreetly,
That peace may possess me.
