GOD ENJOYED

THOU INCOMPREHENSIBLE BUT PRAYER-HEARING GOD,
known, but beyond knowledge,
revealed, but unrevealed,
    my wants and welfare draw me to THEE,
    for THOU has never said, ‘seek ye ME in vain’.
to THEE i come in my difficulties, necessities, distresses;
possess me with THYSELF,
                     with a spirit of grace and supplication,
                     with a prayerful attitude of mind,
                     with access into warmth of fellowship,
    so that in the ordinary concerns of life
          my thoughts and desires may rise to THEE
    and in habitual devotion i may find a resource that will
          soothe my sorrows, sanctify my successes,
          and qualify me in all ways for dealings with my fellow men.
i bless THEE that THOU hast made me capable
    of knowing THEE, the author of all being,
    of resembling THEE, the perfection of all excellency,
    of enjoying THEE, the source of all happiness.
o GOD, attend me in every part of my arduous and trying pilgrimmage;
    i need the same counsel, defense, comfort i found at my beginning.
let my religion be more obvious to my conscience,
                            more perceptible to those around.
while JESUS is representing me in heaven, may i reflect HIM on earth,
while HE pleads my cause, may i show forth HIS praise.

Continue the gentleness of THY goodness towards me,
    THY blessing attend me.
THOU hast led me on and i have found THY promises true,
i have been sorrowful, but THOU hast been my help,
                   fearful, but THOU hast delivered me,
                   despairing, but THOU hast lifted me up.
THY vows are ever upon me

-valley of vision
    and i praise THEE, o GOD.
