1. O Lord, enchain me to Thyself with great bonds of adoring love; en-wheel me around with Thy Providence for Thy Purposes; enlarge me until I am more and more capable of being of use to Thee.
2. O Lord, grant that in sweet and gracious likeness to Thyself I
might delight Thy heart this day, perfect my own life, and be an unalloyed
blessing to all around me.
3 O Lord, how excellent it is to commune with Thee in the early morning hours. Enable me by patience to reproduce these exalted moments of calm into the activities of the day.
4. O Lord, this day put Thou Thy touch, great and ennobling and inspiring upon us all. Save completely our minds from panic and our spirits from undue haste.
5.
O Lord, in simple dependence on Thy Holy Spirit indwelling in me and uniting
me with Thy nature, I look to Thee; cause me to be all Thou wouldst have
me be.
6 Lord, breathe on me until my frame is knit to Thy thought. Lift me until I see Thy face and trust Thine Almightiness without fear or insidious unbelief.
7 O Lord, how I need infilling and invigorating by Thy presence. Give me that buoyant quiet confidence in Thee which is the witness of the Spirit.
8. O Lord, I would crave more and more to put on love like a garment, that in my contract with men that is what they will most lastingly recognize.
9 I praise Thee that all I am is Thine. Oh, that I could delight Thee as the lily does, or the tree, or even the sparrows, just living the life Thou has granted.
10 Lord, when I remember all Thy goodness, thy wonders and Thy grace, I alternate between praise and apprehension. O Lord, that all Thou seekest in me should be carried out in experimental life is my prayer.
