English text

Be Thou my judge, O Lord, of all mine innocence to clear,
my trust is I shall never fall if that through Christ appear,
examine me and take the part O Lord, so much Thy owns
and take the part, so much Thy own try out my reins
and prove my heart which thou canst know alone.

Because Thy loving kindness stands for ever full in view,
and in the truth of Thy commands my path I still pursue.
My hands already wash'd more clean,
mine innocence to make, and so prepar'd will I be seen
Thine Eucharist to take.

My steadfast foot I firmly fix and will maintain my ground,
and with the congregation mix Thy glory to resound.
