1. O Merciful to the grey-haired in his greyness
O Abundantly Generous to those who appeal to You

2. I have offered myself to You, so be gentle with me
Who would buy a slave despite his flaws?

3. My sins have certainly become many
So they have cast my heart into doubt

4. Your servant has been hidden from himself
O He Who is Apparent in His unseen domain

5. Reveal Yourself to him and be his helper
In his inadequacy and greyness

6. Stretch out a white hand and steer him with it
My Master, into Your fold

7. And do not leave him to his peers
For he sees his peers, not You, in his youth
