Have mercy upon us
By Dag Hammarskjold
Thou Whose I Am
Have mercy upon us.
Have mercy upon our efforts,
That we before Thee,
In love and in faith,
Righteousness and humility,
May follow Thee,
With self-denial, steadfastness, and courage,
And meet Thee in the silence.
Give us
A pure heart that we may see Thee,
A humble heart that we may hear Thee,
A heart of love that we may serve Thee,
A heart of faith that we may live Thee.
Thou
Whom I do not know
But whose I am.
Thou
Whom I do not comprehend
But Who hast dedicated me
To my fate.
Thou-
