Prayer for the Day

                                                                O God


Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, 

    To the rising of this life itself; 

May it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, 

     And to the glory of my soul likewise. 

O great God, aid Thou my soul 

     With the aiding of Thine own mercy; 

Even as I clothe my body with wool, 

    Cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. 

Help me to avoid every sin, 

    And the source of every sin to forsake;

And as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, 

    May each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
