Holy Father, hear me;

Thou art my defender;

Be thou ever near me,

Loving, true, and tender.

Jesus, blessed master,

Lord of life and glory,

Bid the hours fly faster,

Till I kneel before thee.

Comforter, divinest,

Who abiding in me,

All my need divinest,

Move me, draw me, win me.

Holy, Holy, Holy,

Come and leave me never,

Thine abode, though lowly,

Only Thine for ever.
