Prayers Ancient and Modern 07/17
Though we know not what is best, give to us, Lord, what Thou seest fit; only fit us for what Thou givest, and let it bring to our souls health and peace, with some good to our neighbor and the world, for Thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
Make me to Thyself a temple of holy things, and abiding with me, O Lord, at the last, be ever gracious unto Thy servant.
Let me do some work which may be accepted in Thy mercy, though unworthy in Thy pure sight.
Bless my work to good, to the fullness of which it is capable, and let me thank Thee for it with joy in the end.
Into Thy hands we commend our spirit, soul, and body, of which Thou art Creator, Saviour, Restorer, a God of truth. Lord, to Thee I commit my going out and my coming in this day—Amen.
Rowland Williams
