Christian Worship Prayer For The Christian Temper.
Almighty Maker! Lord of all!
Of life the only spring!
Creator of unnumbered worlds!
Supreme, Eternal King!
Drive from the confines of my heart
Impenitence and pride;
Nor let me, in forbidden paths,
With thoughtless sinners glide.
Let not despair nor fell revenge
Be to my bosom known:
Oh! give me tears for others’ woes,
And patience for my own.
Feed me with necessary food;
I ask not wealth or fame;
Give me an eye to see thy will,
A heart to bless thy name.
May still my days serenely pass,
Without remorse or care;
And growing holiness my soul
For life’s last hour prepare.
