Hardship

O Lord God hear me in my misery I am besought with ills Demons of my past and ghouls Of future difficulties You have promised to be with me In my present pain Renew in my being the joy Of my youth again So I my praise You And worship only You Father Give glory to Your Son And own Wisdom to Our Mother Venerate His adoptive dad Joseph And honour to Holy Spirit Till I see Your aid And hope in you Holy Family Oh Trinity I know You will be my Companion Who stayed Like one understands the homily We are protected by Christ's staff Jesus rod secures us Eternal life We are set free from internal strife
