Lord, grant me a quiet heart Before 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 sole intent; To make my work a sacrament.
From my faint heart, in love, expell All failure fears that therein dwell. And from my pillow drive away All dark foreboding of the day; Help me in faith to rest so deep That I may have untroubled sleep. While notes and lessons I prepare, May I not lose my zest for prayer. And may I not forget to look For daily guidance in the Book. In quietness, confidence and peace May I have sure and swift release
From needless fears and apprehensions, From outward strain and inward tension. And may I ever grateful be To all who often pray for me; While for myself I intercede, For other students I would plead. So may examinations find Each one alert in heart and mind; First inward joy and peace possessing, Exams will prove a source of blessing.

"Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint." Isa 40:30-31
