Oh my soul's best friend!

  Lead me, oh Lord, 

                                    to a happy end!

  Thy promises 

                  are steadfast and sure

   Thy words

                   holy and pure

  My soul is healthy 

                    for Thy word is my cure!

 Oh my soul! 

   Take heed to Thy best friend  -

   Follow Him home to a joyful end.

   Seek not the pleasures of this earth below,

   choose Christ alone to follow.

My love!

My anchor to my Father's heart!

My soul's true love!

 Never leave! Never part!

Oh my soul's best friend!

 Receive these words with which I send

  my love, my joy, my gratitude 

  for all the blessings that come from You!
