Set a guard over my mouth On my lips a sure seal That I may not fall through my words Let me speak only to heal Let me speak only to heal
Apply the lash to my thoughts To my mind the rod of discipline For a word is the source of every deed And the root of the words is the mind The root of all words is the mind
Lord Father, God of my soul Let me not to fall like these Abandon me not to their control
Lord Father, God of my soul Permit me not to fall like these Abandon me not to their control
Set a guard over my mouth On my lips a sure seal That I may not fall through my words Let me speak only to heal Let me speak only to heal
