O God give me strength to be victorious over myself,
for nothing may chain me to this life.
O guide my spirit, O raise me from these dark depths,
that my soul, transported through Your wisdom,
may fearlessly struggle upward in fiery flight.
For You alone understand and can inspire me.
for nothing may chain me to this life.
O guide my spirit, O raise me from these dark depths,
that my soul, transported through Your wisdom,
may fearlessly struggle upward in fiery flight.
For You alone understand and can inspire me.
“
