Heav’nly Father I want to be

In Holiness and in truth

But the love of flesh attacks me

Deceiving me everyday.

I am but a feeble creature

In my spirit and body

All my frequent sins committed

Now a burden press’d me down

There is one command in my heart

Which thou inserted in me

For this reason I will follow

Thy love and thy holy laws.

Even if i want to be good

I will stay immediately

Thy word is always good to me

But evil, I do always.

Many times i permit my soul

To Satan for temptation

Even though thy word has warn’d me

To depart from all my sins.

Heav’nly Father, to Thee alone

Thou art worthy to save me

Thou my saviour who cares for me

I’ll embrace Thee all my days.
