A PRAYER SUITED TO ALL
LIVING SOULS

Prepare me, gracious God,
To stand before Thy face ;
Thy Spirit must the work perform,
For it is all of grace.

In Christ's obedience clothe,
And wash me in His blood ;
So shall I lift my head with joy
Among the sons of God.

Do Thou my sins subdue,
Thy sovereign love make known,
The spirit of my mind renew,
And save me in Thy Son.

Let me attest Thy power,
Let me Thy goodness prove,
Till my full soul can hold no more
Of everlasting love."
