In the hopelessness of poverty,

God of the poor,

Aid me.

In the crush of defeat,

God of the downtrodden,

Lift me.

In the despair of loneliness,

God of the forsaken,

Comfort me.

In the grip of guilt,

God of the defenceless,

Free me.

In the anxiety of life,

God of the troubled,

Calm me and grant me your peace.
