Lord Jesus, give me shelter,
hide me beneath your wings.
You are my safe protection;
Lord, be my light and wisdom,
my guide in paths unknown.
Fill every day and let me
live by your grace alone.
Forgive my sins and make me
as clean as whitest snow.
Your Spirit send, renew me
so you in me can grow.
Now we both great and smaller
all ask with one accord:
a night of peaceful slumber
grant us, o gracious Lord.
Lina Sandell (full name Carolina Vilhelmina Sandell Berg) (1832 - 1903) Sweden
