Dai-nos Senhor Vossa Luz e Vossos Dons.
José Acácio Santana
Give us, Lord, Your Light and Your Gifts.
Give us, Lord, your light and your gifts
Come, Lord, give us Wisdom
To do your will
To live in peace and harmony
And seek only the truth
Come, Lord, give us Understanding
And comprehension of the Christian experience
To join our talents
And build a new tomorrow
Come, Lord, always give us knowledge
Raise your light in our minds
To understand the Providence Love
That governs, preserves, and guides everything
Come, Lord, give us your Counsel
May the truth be better understood
May we seek in the Holy Gospel
Your message of love and life
Come, Lord, give us Strength
That keeps us on your path
May your strength sustain weakness
Transforming evil into flower
Come, Lord, give us Holy Piety
To learn to invoke you
Those who trust in your goodness
Will have their place in your Kingdom
Come, Lord, give us the gift of Fear
That leads us to respect for you
May it not be fear, but speak of love
That you have always placed within us!
