Litanie XVI

E. Křenek

From needing danger, to be good,

From owing Thee yesterday's tears to-day,

From trusting so much to Thy blood

That in that hope we wound our soul away,

From bribing Thee with alms, to excuse

Some sin more burdenous,

From light affecting, in religion, news,

From thinking us all soul, neglecting thus

Our mutual duties, Lord, deliver us.
