I know, my God, I must change, if I am to see your
face.
I must undergo the change of death.
Body and soul must die to this world.
My real self, my soul, must change by a new
regeneration.
Support me, as I proceed in this great, happy change,
with the graced of your unchangeableness.
Whatever fortune I have, be I rich or poor, healthy or
sick, with friends or without, all will turn to evil, if I am not sustained by
the Unchangeable; all will turn to good if I have Jesus with me, yesterday and
today the same, and for ever.
