OUR
Heavenly Father, as we close our eyes we would open our hearts to Thee. Thou
knowest us altogether; the very thoughts of our hearts, our innermost ambitions
and desires, our secret ways--"all things are naked and open unto the eyes
of Him with Whom we have to do." Thee we cannot deceive. Keep us from
trying to deceive others or to deceive ourselves. May we be sincere, without
guile or hypocrisy, genuine--our lives of one piece, like the seamless garment
of our Lord.
Keep us from the folly and wickedness of a divided life,
that is one thing within and another without; that is humble and reverent on
the day of worship, but hard and cold and selfish on the days of work and of
pleasure.
May we be thoughtful for those who serve us, and faithful to
those whom we serve. May our daily task be consecrated to Thee, that not only
the fruit of our labor, but the toil itself of hands and heart and brain, may
be used for Thy Kingdom.
Make all our lives of friendship and books and rest and love
and laughter and service sacred to Thee, and Thine may be the glory, through
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Master. Amen.
Herbert Welch, D.D., LL.D.,
