DC Restoration??

I would like a simple circuit that can turn an LFO going from -5V to +5V
(from a Mutron Biphase) into an LFO that goes from 0V to +5V to use with a
CV pedal input. If possible, I would like a circuit that can be run off of
a 9V battery, or the 5V output of the pedal input. The latter would be
best.
Someone suggested the following:

Would that work?? I'm not sure how to calculate the right values.
Paul Perry suggested that I put a 5V battery in series with the LFO output.
Although that seems like very clever idea, I don't want to have to stock 5V
batteries.
Any ideas??
