PRIERE A DIEU by Esther Kello

Seigneur a ton honeur

et par ton grĂ¢ce aussi

J'ae pafait ce LIVRET

ainsi Seigneur ainsi

Pour ne fair oncques rien

au monde qui duise

Ton Sanct Esprit toujours

en ce sentier humain.

Assuere, ouvre, redresse,

illumine, conduise,

Mon coeur, mon oeuil, mon pied,

mon esprit et ma main,

Ainsi, soit il.


Esther Kello (nee Inglis) 1571-1624

My version of this, helped by our friend Mr. Google, is below.  I'm very happy to receive any improvements.


Lord, to your glory,

and by your graciousness,

I made the booklet well;

oh yes, our Lord, oh yes.

Oh, may I not engage

With what won't understand

Thy Spirit ever

Throughout my pilgrimage.

Stabilise, open, right,

enlighten, take my hand,

My heart, my eye, my foot,

My spirit, stage by stage.

Amen; so be it.
