Suscipe, Domine, universam meam libertatem. Accipe memoriam, intellectum atque voluntatem omnem. Quidquid habeo vel possideo mihi largitus es: id Tibi totum restituo, ac Tuae prorsus voluntati trado gubernandum. Amorem Tui solum cum gratia Tua mihi dones, et dives sum satis, nec aliud quidquam ultra posco.
Take, O Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me; to Thee, O Lord, I return it. All is Thine; dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me only Thy love and Thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.
Nimm hin, o Herr, meine ganze Freiheit, mein Gedächtnis, meinen Verstand und meinen ganzen Willen, alles, was ich habe und besitze. Du hast es mir gegeben; Dir, o Herr, gebe ich es zurück. Alles ist Dein; verfüge darüber ganz nach Deinem Willen. Gib mir nur Deine Liebe und Deine Gnade, denn das genügt mir.
