Lord, grant to me a quiet heart
Before my examinations start
Teach me to use my leisure hours
To reinvigorate my powers
My mind from day-dreams liberate
Give me the will to concentrate
From all distractions set me free
That in my studies I may be
A student with this whole intent
To make my work a sacrament
From pains in heart, in love expel
All failure fears that therein dwell
And from my pillows drive away
All dark forebording of that day
Help me in faith to rest so deep
That I may have untroubled sleep
While notes and lessons I prepare
May I lose my zeal in prayer
And may I not forget to look
For daily guidance in Thy book
In quietness,confidence and peace
May I have quick and sure release
From needless fears and apprehension
From outward strain and inward tension
And may I ever grateful be
While for myself I intercede
For other students too I plead
So may examinations find
Each one alert in heart and mind
Thus inward joy and peace-possessing
Exams will prove a source of blessing
Amen
Signing off...Tingyu^^
