Would someone be willing to translate from Norwegian to English? The writing is pretty faded and smudged, this is as clear as I could get it.

    It's a short poem. Sorry I can't keep it poetic:

    Abandon me not

    On my way.

    Lead me forward

    To my home.

    Through trials stand fast

    And eternal salvation receive.

    Here is the poem/prayer in modern Norwegian:

    Svikt meg ei

    På min vei.

    Led meg frem

    Til mitt hjem.

    Ut i prøvelsene stå

    Og evig frelse få.

    Throwing this into Google translate gives:

    Don't let me down
    On my way.
    Lead me forward
    To my home.
    Out in the trials stand
    And eternal salvation get.

    which isn't bad but I like what my wife and I came up with better.
