Ever-present Father, guide us—
I will keep you in My way.
Take from us desire for sinning—
Truth is cleansing you from evil.
Take from us the fear of sickness—
Spirit will your fears allay.
Take from us the dread of dying—
Life ensures unending being.
Show to us the sense immortal—
Soul reveals eternal day.
Manifest Thy pure dominion—
Mind is perfect, boundless, All;
Love divine is ever shining,
Sovereign light, with undimmed ray!
