Let me never leave this land,

let me remain in Your shade,

Every night’s joy and fear,

to be invalidated for me.

Every day is a thought,

Every room just for You,

All earthly dreams of riches and fame,

all shadows on the wall.

I know every detour,

every time I went amiss,

every time You fetch me someplace,

Make it Lord your last time.

What I have is mercy,

borrowed from You

I long for Your waters of rest,

lead me there my Lord tonight.

Koos du Plessis
