1 Let us not, O Lord, leave the path, the offerer's way of worship: let no malignity dwell with us.

2 May we obtain, completely wrought, the thread spun out to reach the righteous,

That perfecteth the worship.

4 Thy spirit come to thee again for wisdom, energy, and life,

That thou mayst long behold the sun!

6 O Lord, with the spirit still within us, blest with progeny,

May we be busied in the law.
