Lord,
Grant me a quiet heart,
Before my examinations start.
Teach me to use my leisure hours,
To reinvigorate my powers.

My mind from day dreams liberate,
To make my studies a sacrament.
From faith in heart, in love expel.
Give me the will to concentrate.
From all distractions set free,
That in my studies i may be,
A student with this whole intent,
All failure fears that these indwell.
All from all pillows drive away,
All dark forebodings of the day.

Help me infaith to rest so deep,
That i may have untroubled sleep.
While notes and lessons I prepare,
May I not lose my zest for prayer.

So may examinations find
Each student alert in heart and mind.
Thus inward joy and peace possessing,
Examinations will prove a source of blessing.
