Life of my life, I shall ever try to keep my body pure, knowing that

thy living touch is upon all my limbs.


I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing

I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my love

heart.


And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing it

is thy power gives me strength to act.
