Tune: Melcombe
(New every morning is the love')
Based on a prayer of Thomas á Kempis (15th Century)
*********
Write your blessed name, Lord, on my heart
There to be yours in every part
To be graven indelibly
Your presence there eternally
So that no prosperity move
Nor adversity, from your love
Be unto me a strong tower
Of defence from perils each hour
Be comfort in tribulation
Save me from distresses, each one
A true present help in trouble
A guide to heaven through life all
Be my comfort and guard, for see
Many temptations here there be
And dangers, keep me, see me through
So shall I praise, glorify you
