Give me, O Lord,
A steadfast heart,
Which no unworthy affection
May drag downwards;

Give me
An unconquered heart,
Which no tribulation
Can wear out;

Give me
An upright heart,
Which no unworthy purpose
May tempt aside.

Bestow on me also, O Lord my God,
Understanding to know You,
Diligence to seek You,
Wisdom to find You,
And a faithfulness
That may finally embrace You,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord

(Thomas Aquinas)
